The Japanese pay much attention to the luck of telephone numbers . The bath houses , for example , like to use 4626 , because when 　31　 　in Japanese , it has the 　32　 　pronunciation as “have a good bath” . 　33　 　the clothes shops and the butcher’s like 4129 better than 　34　 　because this number can either be read as “good dress” 　35　 　“good meat” .

Since these numbers are 　36　 　with something 　37　 　, people can remember them very 　38　 　, so they have 　39　 　advertisements for shops.

On the other hand , 　40　 　are also telephone numbers which are regarded as forbidden 　41　 　the Japanese people. 1564 , for example , has the sound of “kill people” 　42　 　the number 4219 has 　43　 　of “people die”.

At 　44　 　, there are about forty-four million 　45　 　in Japan , yet it is almost 　46　 　for everyone to get a lucky telephone number .So these 　47　 　have become commodities(商品) and can be 　48　 　as goods . The 　49　 　can reach as 　50　 　as 222 thousand Japanese yen(日元).
