If 4 is an unlucky number in Japan, why does DDR have 4 arrows? Is it because there are 8 alltogether on the pad. Is that the reason why DDR SOLO has 6 arrows?

4 and 7 are bad numbers because in japanese the word shi is used in the name.shi is evil. its just superstition though, like saying its bad for a cat to cross your path.in all reality what does it matter? even though some of there buildings over theyre skip the number 4 and 7. laugh.gif

Maybe because there are four cardinal directions?

Not everything has to do with good or bad luck. A "Baker's dozen" is 13, but there's nothing "unlucky" about that concept.
