Tokyo and Mt. Fuji sunset

That’s the Park Hyatt Tokyo on the far left, famous, in part, because of its prominent role in the movie, Lost in Translation.

巣鴨とげ抜き地蔵

Sugamo (巣鴨) is famous for being the old ladies’ Harajuku. However, when I captured this image of the well known and popular statue which cures ailments, it was young ladies looking for a little supernatural help.

Midtown Christmas

Each year Tokyo Midtown puts on an illumination’s display. The moon was trying to get in on the action on this evening.

Ballad (バラッド名もなき恋のうた) – Japanese Movie promo set

テレビ朝日 TV Asahi studios roppongi tokyo japan

Ballad display in TV Asahi (テレビ朝日)

TV Asahi studios in Roppongi in Tokyo frequently has some pretty cool-looking displays in their giant, atrium-like lobby that you can go in and view. Back in September of 2009 they were plugging a new movie with the display shown in today’s photo.

I didn’t see the movie, myself, and it can be difficult getting foreign films in the USA that weren’t super popular in the home country. IMDB gives it rather mediocre reviews as do customers on amazon.jp. Oh well, great looking promo structure in any event.
