Like Shibuya needs more "energy" and "customers." LOL

Hideously ugly and oppressively oversized for the area. Shibuya Ward just built itself a spiffy new office but when are they going to fix the drains?

Yes, just what Tokyo needs, another tall, ugly building.

I'm loving these massive buildings springing up in Shibuya over the past few years. It's changing the landscape, and keeping Tokyo a truly modern city.

It's not as hideous looking as I thought it might be. Shibuya's great fun but I wouldn't want to live there.

The new buildings are astonishing and amazing. Blade Runner atmosphere intensified. Love it.

More like 30 years! Have never known it to be free of scaffolding and barriers.
