Tokyo Tower stood for a dream of the future, but that dream is gone. Tokyo Tower offers no more dreams, just as Japan has no more dreams.

Geesh, don't let this guy speak for me. When the professor awakes from his personal reflection (if), remind him Japan is not limited to Tokyo nor a tower. In fact he could probably find a dream there at this moment.

I agree, he should speek for himself. And someday, he should venture outside the ivy tower.

Indeed, I cant believe any counrty shares a collective dream, we are are individuals afterall (personally, I just dream abouot getting in Hoshino Akis' pants). Anyway, what are we, a hive? btw its an IVORY tower. Unless the ivy has overgrown the tower and it has caused him to be trapped?

The ivy is definitely blocking his view.

Japan does have a dream. To build the world tallest building. It is being built in Sumida ku as we type. Any business folks out there this will be the next revitalized area in some of the older parts of Tokyo

Just to be clear, the new tower will NOT be a building - no offices or "mansions", huge difference to building an empty frame compared to the new tall buildings in Malaysia, Taiwan, Shanghai or Dubai.
