777 is lucky number.

Video Music Awards Japan 2006 was held and Michael Jackson came to get Legend Award. He seems to enjoy Tokyo, they say yesterday he went to Pachinko Slot place and played a slot machine named "CR Michael Jackson" in the motif of himself. Japanese slot machine has such theme for machine, Evangelin, Hokuto no ken etc. You have to play slot listening with their theme music or Kenshiro's shout "atatatatatata".

I have never played pachinko slot, but usually the best score is "777", is it common in the world ??. I am not sure because when I use "777" on Google image, I can see only airplanes. In Japan people love three seven as a lucky number, we feel "lucky" whatever, whenever, wherever we get "777" accidentally. Today's post of nifty portal z is "make 777yen at register". He visited shops and restaurant and bought things just "777yen ($6.9)". It was fun and it is nice to know cost of living too.

At a reasonable restaurant Gust, this is the menu he could eat with 777yen. At Japanese hamburger shop "DOM DOM", this is 777yen.　At reasonable Izakaya Watami, this is 777yen. At Super Market, he picked Shochu "Iichiko" priced 777yen. At Drug Store "Matsumoto Kiyoshi", this is 777yen. Umm this seems has poorer impression than other 777yen. At Seven Eleven, he could buy water, soup, rice ball, Umaibos, ramen snack and one happoshu. This seems the most gorgeous to me. he he he*

777 is considered "the number of God" relative to 666 being the "the number of the beast (devil)" in the Bible. Not sure how it relates to Japanese culture, though...
