went to see this beast the other day.

one of the most incredible buildings ive ever seen - really on a par with some of the best scrapers in the world

my only problem is with the colour - the silhouette on the shinjuku skyline with the triple tiered park hyatt with fuji in the background is one of the most mindblowing things you'll ever see.

it looks so overbearing, so ominous.

i give it 9.5 out of 10. if it was black granite itd be terrifying!

i imagine this is the tallest government building in the world - fitting for the worlds largest city (35 odd million at the last count) i guess!

the detail on this building is incredible - it looks like a high tech chipboard up close with the different colours of granite.

there is another 25-30 storey building next to it which also houses other sections of the city's government....

they could have built this tower at over 1000 feet if they had wanted to. but it just looks one hell of a lot taller than its 800 odd height..

great tower.

Sturdy looking. The microchip effect is caused by the tiny windows and granite panels. The top floor is actually below those two circular drums. I wonder whats in them? 8/10

Everyone seems to say this is a "massive Cathedral". I agree. I really like its size, and the grace which the towers come out of the really tall base (I like that). The towers are also spectacular, the way they change every couple floors. I like the facade and windows shapes, but it is not as good as it could be, and the transitions between the different sections are a little rough, but its a wonderful building just the same.

I love this building! It reminds me of circuitry, which was the point.

Too bulky and overbearing. Looks like something from George Orwell's 1984.
