TDV Reports: Tokyo Midtown Promo
A promo clip shown at Tokyo Midtown’s press conference last Monday.
“Various elements are intertwined to contribute to the diversity by accepting and stimulating each other.”.. Sounds fun..
The audio translation is a bit tough to pick up, but I’m not sure if it’s due to the audio level or the content of the speech.. Sometimes Japanese just doesn’t translate well.
The clip has some nice shots of the general area, and also shows how Tokyo Midtown has ‘intertwined’ Japanese cultural icons, such as the ‘torii’ and bamboo paneling.

TDV Reports: Tokyo Midtown Visual Tour
Some of the scenery at the new skyscraper complex in Roppongi; Tokyo Midtown.
Overall, I was impressed; Lots of grass, open space in the back, and natural wood. It’s also easier to navigate than Roppongi Hills, and the water everywhere might keep it cool during summer months. Inside seems to be well lit by natural light.. A pleasant experience.
Expect it to be crowded hell for the next few months until the novelty wears off; Tokyo Midtown officially opens this Friday - 3/30/2007.
The video was quickly chopped together but has most of the main attractions.. ‘Japanese uniqueness with surrounding abundance’.
