Like I said, I will talk about the Mori Building. this is a old comedy show of 5 member heros group "the Goranjai" One day they wore costumes which they thought "this is the strongest stuff in Japan";
The first one is Falcon of the movie "Never Ending Story". Next one is "Lady R" (a famous stoker woman who stoked a comedian) The next one wears Dokin-chan. She is a character that appears in the Kid TV animation Anpanman who is the hero who give his face. Then next is No-pan shabu shabu waitress. Do you know Japanese food shabu shabu? No pan means "no panties". Well, it is a "shabu-shabu" that the "waitresses" serve with NO PANTies. Customers enjoy shabu shabu and flashing service (you know what I mean). YES I will tell you, this is one of the disgusting and strange things in Japan's history. Anyway later in the 90s, it actually became popular in the booming Japanese economy. The one on the right .
The last one is the Mori Building. He thought Mori Building was the strongest one in Japan in those days, the 90s. Mori Building is one of the leading property developers in Japan. Sometimes I talked about Roppongi Hills. It is one of their buildings. Ark Hills (TV Asahi Network is in there), LaForet Harajuku (very popular fashion building), now Omotesando Hills (new building in the most fashionable street in Japan) which is under construction, they are all Mori Building's property. If you know about Tokyo, you would realise these buildings are a kind of "key buildings" in Tokyo. Not only are they located in the centre of Tokyo, but they also provide a source of entertainment, information and fashion trends. Time Magazine calls the CEO of Mori Tokyo's most powerful property tycoon. When you walk around Tokyo, you will find many "Mori Buildings" in place. Thinking of the TV show aired in the peak of the property bubble when land price was extremely high. I may agree he thought they were the strongest in Japan in the 90s!!.
The bubble is over, but they are still rich of course. Reading this kind of page or interviews, Mori Building will have an important role in urban plan of Tokyo in 21st century. They call it the Mori Empire, I just hope they are a good empire to make and keep this Tokyo beautiful in the Japanese way. Their websites have English pages. Please check here. I like their Mid-Tokyo Maps. It is great. You can enjoy information about Tokyo, the history of Tokyo and other big city info etc with cute design. The details are so great and you won't be bored with these pages.
The tokyo map links is great, and you are right, there is a lot of information. almost too much...I spent 45 minutes playing with it before I realised the time.
