Beautifully shot! Have you heard the Tokyo International Forum was described as one of the "5 rubbish architecture in Tokyo" along with metropolitan government, etc. by Arata Isozaki, a great architect? As far as I remember, it was what many Tokyo local felt about this place when it first appeared. But they will realize the cool side of its architecture if they watch this video :) I like the music, too. Suits the atmosphere really well. :D Somehow I missed out this video until today.

(http://www.museum.or.jp/grutto/about-e.html) For a paltry 2000 yen you get a free entry into about 60 museums for the next 2 months. One is actually in the International Forum, the excellent Mitsuo Aida museum. It's normally an astounding 1000 yen, but in the past it was included on the GRUTT pass.
