I said I was going to go search for the Fuji Television Headquarters because I didn’t believe it was really 25 stories tall? It was only a few days ago, so I’m hoping your answer is an enthusiastic, “Yes.”
I did search. I did find. I’m not altogether convinced it’s the same building. It certainly doesn’t look like the same building. But it is very odd and tall. So if it’s the same building they weren’t lying.

Very cool building! I wonder what this says about the Fuji brand? I think I’ll have to post about this on Brandcurve (with a link back here, of course).
Jennifer, I just wrote a post about this building and provided my take on what the brand is all about based on having a building like this for their HQ. Stop by and let me know what you think the building says about the Fuji TV brand. Here’s the URL:
