Tokyo Tower (東京タワー, Tōkyō tawā?) is a communications and observation tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 332.5 metres (1,091 ft), it is the second tallest artificial structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
Built in 1958, the tower's main sources of revenue are tourism and antenna leasing. Over 150 million people have visited the tower since its opening. FootTown, a 4-storey building located directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants and shops. Departing from here, guests can visit two observation decks. The 2-storey Main Observatory is located at 150 metres (490 ft), while the smaller Special Observatory reaches a height of 250 metres (820 ft).
The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961 and the tower is now used to broadcast signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned digital television transition by July 2011 is problematic, however. Tokyo Tower's current height is not high enough to adequately support complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller digital broadcasting tower, known as Tokyo Skytree, was completed in February, 2012.
Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō?, "Eastern Capital") [toːkʲoː], English /ˈtoʊki.oʊ/; officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都, Tōkyō-to?), is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. Tokyo is the capital of Japan, the center of the Greater Tokyo Area, and the largest metropolitan area of the world. It is the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace, and the home of the Japanese Imperial Family. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府, Tōkyō-fu?) and the city of Tokyo (東京市, Tōkyō-shi?).
The Tokyo Metropolitan government administers the 23 special wards of Tokyo (each governed as a city), which cover the area that was the city of Tokyo, as well as 39 municipalities in the western part of the prefecture and the two outlying island chains. The population of the special wards is over 8 million people, with the total population of the prefecture exceeding 13 million. The prefecture is part of the world's most populous metropolitan area with upwards of 35 million people and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy with a GDP of US$1.479 trillion at purchasing power parity in 2008, ahead of New York City metropolitan area, which ranks second on the list. The city hosts 47 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest amount of any city.

Transcend unto this mind all the knowledge of your dreams
How can it be both inside the same dream?
How can it be How can we be in the same dream?
How much more can we change
These buildings are shifting, this glass is rippling
The water is above us, yet it will not fall
Why is it all out of focus
I thought this was perfect now I see its flaws
Step by step, brick by brick
I will turn this world into what I see fit
I can be anything, I will become everything
Captivated by the sounds of the lost souls
Their voices are ever-haunting
Who are these faces? Why do they stare at me?
Look away, look away
Why is this crumbling at my face
How much more can we change
These buildings are shifting, this glass is rippling
The water is above us, yet it will not fall
Why is it all out of focus
I thought this was perfect now I see its flaws
I open my eyes to the world and everything changes
Now everything's perfect (Now I see its flaws)
Welcome to your wildest fantasy
This is my world, I control everything
Life could be never-ending
I will steal the light from your eyes
There's nothing left that we cannot achieve
Lift your hands towards me
We will make the world believe
There is nothing we cannot achieve
Lift your hands towards me
You will be never-ending
You will be never-ending
There's nothing left that we cannot achieve
Lift your hands towards me
We will make the world believe
This place is flawless, my world's so perfect
Before you can join the rest
You must shed yourself of everything
Brighten my soul, come and lift me off of my feet
Believe in anything that gives this all a meaning
Captivate and inspire what we can change to be anything
Anything you imagine
Inside that heart is the strength to change the world
Inside that heart is the strength to change the world
Brighten your soul, come and I'll lift you off of your feet
Believe in anything that gives this all a meaning
When you reach your end this will all be real again
The strength to change the world
Inside that heart is the strength to change the world
Inside that heart is the strength to change the world
When you reach your end you'll lift me
Brighten my soul, come and lift me off of my feet
This loss burdens the condemned
letting the horrid consume you
From believing in anything
that makes you feel whole
Like ghosts at your bones,
like smoke
So close minded
there's no room at all
Look unto me
Open your throat
Speak in half truths
Deceive and manipulate to get
Whatever makes you feel whole
Tell the world how that horrid heart
Became so cold and alone
Because of your actions and words
They can never trust again
You will be left alone
In a world you hate
Of which you create
This loss burdens the condemned
letting the horrid consume you
From believing in anything
that makes you feel whole
Like ghosts at your bones,
like smoke
So close minded
there's no room at all
Look unto me
Open your throat
Speak in half truths
Deceive and manipulate to get
Whatever makes you feel whole
Fear is constant through your body
Fear is constant through your body
Fear is constant through your body
Fear is constant through your body
(Fear is constant through your body)
Fear is constant through your body
(Fear is constant through your body)
Fear is constant through your body
(Fear is constant through your body)
Fear is constant through your body
This is what I've always wanted for myself
And I feel so effortless in my voice
This is the life that I've chosen and I feel so lost
Oh, if he could take his eyes off of her
I thought we could make it all possible to reach
But I'll look somewhere else
And there was nothing left of the man I used to be
Loveless, there is nothing left
I left her somewhere, this was invisible
Everything's gray, nothing is sane
How did we end up here?
I was caught off guard
How could she leave me here?
I thought we could make it all possible to reach
But I'll look somewhere else
I will speak no more, I will try no further
I will shelter you from this life no longer
I won't be the last one, I won't be the last one
I thought we could make it all possible
I've been holding on
To what's left of our beating hearts
I never left
We never left each others minds
Lately I've been wondering
Hoping this is happening
If I could open my eyes
Oh I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment
I've been holding on
To what's left of our beating hearts
I'll never laugh
We never left each others minds
Lately I've been wondering
Hoping this is happening
If I could open my eyes
Oh I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment
Come close, feel me
Be by my side till the night falls
Come close, feel me
Be by my side till the night falls
Lost in the feel of this
My emotions are endless
Tell me, do you even, even
Lost in the feel of this
My emotions are endless
Tell me, do you even think like this?
Oh I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment
Oh I can see your eyes through thick and thin
There is a glow at the horizon
The night's leaving, day is soon to come
Upon first gaze, the glory of the sun is all to overwhelming
As the shadows cast unto the earth
It's all overwhelming, it's all overwhelming
They are seen!
Is this reality? Could this be happening?
The world slept at peace and awoke to the end
The lifeless beasts are closing in
Is this reality? Could this be happening?
Through the cracks the light shines to cast a view of what lies ahead
Through apparitions dancing with the flickering light
It's all overwhelming, it's all overwhelming
They are seen
Is this reality? Could this be happening?
The world slept at peace and awoke to the end
The lifeless beasts are closing in
Is this reality? Could this be happening?
I can remember the first time
I relied on you, on you
I feel like it's gotta leave
When everything is still I will remember
What it's worth
Worn down from the stress of consciousness
Let me out, let me out
Let me out of this mind I am not alone
Free me, free me
Open my eyes
Free me, free me
Let me out of this mind I am not alone
I've been walking through the unknown
It all relies on you
I feel like it's gotta leave
I feel scared, lost and alone
Misery is calling me!
Worn down from the stress of consciousness
I am lost without you
I feel lost, but I can't believe that it's happening
The last time I could ever look back at you
(The imagination's overwhelming)
(Can you feel it?)
I feel lost, but I believe that everything is gonna be fine
It will be just fine
Open thine eyes to the world
The imagination's overwhelming
Open thine eyes to the world
The imagination's overwhelming
Open your eyes!
To the world!
Open your eyes!
So calm is the wake from a dream
Returning to the world feels strange
Did I sleep?
Or am I still sleeping?
Memories of the world are drawn together
In mediums
That these eyes have not seen
Put me under there is nothing left
When will I sleep my eyes are so heavy
Why have I woken?
Put me under there's nothing left
When will I sleep or am I still dreaming?
So sick is the plague of the world.
Memories of this world are drawn together
In mediums
That these eyes have not seen
Put me under there is nothing left
When will I sleep my eyes are so heavy
Why have I woken?
Put me under there's nothing left
When will I sleep or am I still dreaming?
When will I sleep or am I still dreaming?
Why have I woken?
Put me under!
Why have I woken?
Put me under.
When will I sleep or am I still dreaming?
There are those among us
That all find themselves distorted by choice
This is a curse to humanity
This is not how you were meant to be
Take my hand, I will lead thee to where you need to be
And when you wake you shall be purified and free
So trapped by their addictions
What about the ones you love?
Don't they mean anything, anything at all?
They all find themselves distorted by choice
Put faith back in your heart
Don't let it leave your side
No longer will you hurt.
No longer will you age.
No longer will you fear.
No longer will you cry.
There are those among us that find themselves compelled
They know who they are
Who will you be, who will you be
Who will you be, who will you be
Who will you be, who will you be
Who will you be, who will you be
Who will you be, who will you be
Who will you be, who will you be
I've been holding on
To what's left of our beating hearts
I never left
We never left each others minds
Lately I've been wondering
Hoping this is happening
If I could open my eyes
Oh I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment
I've been holding on
To what's left of our beating hearts
I'll never laugh
We never left each others minds
Lately I've been wondering
Hoping this is happening
If I could open my eyes
Oh I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment
Come close, feel me
Be by my side till the night falls
Come close, feel me
Be by my side till the night falls
Lost in the feel of this
My emotions are endless
Tell me, do you even, even
Lost in the feel of this
My emotions are endless
Tell me, do you even think like this?
Oh I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment
Oh I can see your eyes through thick and thin
