    This is the new TV Asahi building, part of the Roppongi Hills complex. I was looking forward to visiting this as I wanted to find some neat goods for some of my favorite TV shows at the gift shop, but most of what they had was just lame Doraemon merchandise. You can see Tokyo Tower…

    Find out which student you would be in BATTLE ROYALE. Seems like I would be Shogo Kawada. It reminded me of how much I’m looking forward to seeing the sequel, coming out this Summer in Japan.
