Lines and No Signs

There must be a rule - Japan has lots of rules- no signs on buildings.
A discrete sign at the entrance indicated this was The Otemachi Tower, headquarters of Mizhou Bank.
I like the modern lines and the textures and reflections.  Wikipedia tells me the architects is Kohn Pedersen Fox, one of the largest architecture firms in the world, based in New York.

Mama Mia - Karaoke



Justin Beiber and Karaoke, not part of my life until last week on the Grade 12 trip,  have I lead a sheltered life? 
The students were surprised by my performance when Mama Mia came on.
Sheltered or not At least it was an authentic Japanese Karaoke experience, with endame beans and fries as snacks and Japanese tunes as well as Western pop songs.
