Tokyo Tower to add 100 meters
Operator fears broadcasters will move to new tower

Nippon Television City Corp. is preparing to make Tokyo Tower higher in what is being viewed as a desperate bid to prevent TV broadcasters from switching to a much taller transmitting tower planned to be built in Sumida Ward.

The operator of the 333-meter landmark, which will be vying with a new 610-meter competitor dubbed "New Tokyo Tower," has drafted a plan to extend its digital broadcasting antenna by 80 to 100 meters.

To boost the height of Tokyo Tower's antenna by 100 meters, however, the structure itself will have to be lengthened by 20 meters, which would cost around ¥4 billion and be fully covered by the company, it said.

The new radio and TV transmitter tower to be built in Tokyo's Sumida Ward is slated to become the world's tallest structure when it begins operating in 2011.

I agree, it's not a bad design, but it's not great either. Tokyo Tower 1 is really cool, but for some reason I don't like this one.

■新東京タワー

　都心のビル高層化に伴い、電波障害を防ぐために建設される地上デジタル放送用の電波塔。民放など在京放送事業者６社の要請に応じる形で、東武鉄道グループの子会社「新東京タワー株式会社」が事業主体となり、来夏に建設開始、平成２３年完成予定。一方、東京タワー（約３３３メートル）を運営する日本電波塔株式会社（東京都港区）が、アンテナを８０～１００メートル高くして地上デジタル化に対応すると表明。放送事業者の今後の対応にも注目が集まる。

Here they say they will start building the tower next summer.

[Nash2001]

Hey, I would like you to tell me how can I do for leave meseges in hiragana, katakana and kanji, please answer in english.

[Momo1435]

Copy paste or just write it.

Just make sure that you have installed East Asian languages in windows.

Then you have to change the language into Japanese in the language bar.

And then you can write Japanese、you have to write it in hiragana, then you can choose the kanji when press the space bar.

元気ですか？

[Nash2001]

OK thank you I was learning japanese, is funny and I discover is easier than english for me, because phometic is almost the same than spanish.

This 600 something high tower causes me such a nostalgic feeling.

It is like the 20's, when vanguard movements called modernist, like RUssian constructivism, Italian FUturism and so on, picture the future. The design of this tower seems to me to be an old new design. It is really a shame, as I wish it could follow the Cocoon tower's new approach of contemporary architecture in Tokyo. In brief, it is really ugly a structure for me. However, let us wait untill it is done, I might be surprised in a very good way though.
