Tokyo! is a 2008 anthology film containing three segments written by three non-Japanese directors, all of which were filmed in Tokyo, Japan. Michel Gondry directed "Interior Design", Leos Carax directed "Merde", and Bong Joon-ho directed "Shaking Tokyo".
Directed by Michel Gondry. It is an adaptation of the short story comic "Cecil and Jordan in New York" by Gabrielle Bell.
Hiroko and Akira (Ayako Fujitani and Ryō Kase) are a young couple from the provinces who arrive in Tokyo with limited funds, short-term lodging and what appears to be a solid and mutually supportive relationship that will seemingly carry them through any challenge. Akira is an aspiring filmmaker whose debut feature will soon screen in the city — and hopefully lead to a more solid career; in the interim, he lands work wrapping gifts at a local department store. After securing short-term housing in the cramped studio apartment of old school chum Akemi (Ayumi Ito) — a career girl with a demanding boyfriend who grows weary of Akemi's houseguests — Hiroko hits the streets of Tokyo in search of a suitable apartment, finding a series of rat-infested hovels that neither she nor Akira can afford on their limited salaries. After Akira's film screens to dubious acclaim, one spectator informs Hiroko of the inherent struggles in relationships between creative types: often, one half of a couple feels invisible, useless, or unappreciated, something Hiroko relates to wholeheartedly in the wake of her numerous trials and tribulations in the unfamiliar city of Tokyo. She starts to question her role in the relationship, resulting in a startling transformation in which she turns into a wooden chair, and is taken in by a young man.
Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō, "Eastern Capital") (Japanese: [toːkjoː], English /ˈtoʊki.oʊ/), officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都, Tōkyō-to), is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan, and is both the capital and largest city of Japan. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is the seat of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Formerly known as Edo, it has been the de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters. It officially became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from the old capital of Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. 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).
"Tokyo" is a 2007 single released by Swedish artist Danny Saucedo better known as Danny.
In 2008, Danny participated with the song in Polish Sopot International Song Festival
The song entered and peaked at #4 on Swedish Trackslistan on 24 February 2007 and charted for six weeks. The song peaked at #1 on the Swedish singles chart on 22 February 2007.

Peace up, A-Town down
Philly!
Yeah! (yeah!!)
Yeah!
Okay! (okay!!)
Okay
Usher, Usher
Wait
Lil' Jon!
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) - yeah!
Luda, Usher, Lil' Jon, & Free (Lil' Jon & Free)
When it time, only niggaz rock designer first (first)
And we pull up and we crush the curb
And the rims so deep you can't find your feet (find your feet)
Can't see past the truck, past the phantom, the clique
I catch Hummer, Benz, and Bentlys
Wrist froze, step on the grease, crush the guard and
With Jay-Z twisting up weed
The Big Bad Wolf he'll puff your hut down
The gauge I'll buck rounds, leave you with no knees, the O.G
Probably bouncing to Rap music, the four life fluid
And it does make the chicks scream
Take that and rewind it back
Lil' Jon got the beat that make your booty go (smack)
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) - yeah!
Let's go!
I was up in the club with my homies
Trying to get a little Bia', keep it down on the low key (low key)
You should know how it feels (hey, hey!)
I saw the shorty she was checking up on me
From the game she was spitting in my ear
You would think that she know me (know me)
I decided to chill (okay!)
Conversation got heavy, she had me feeling like she's ready to blow (watch out!)
Oh! (watch out!) she's saying, "come get me" (come get me)
So I got up and followed her to the floor
She said, "baby let's go"
When I told her (let's go!) I said
(Yeah!!) yeah!
Shorty got down on her knees, said "come and get me"
(Yeah!!) yeah!
I got so caught up, I forgot she told me
(Yeah!!) yeah!
Her and my girl used to be the best of homies
(Yeah!!) yeah!
Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screaming
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah - yeah!
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah - yeah!
She's all up in my head now
Got me thinking that it might
Be a good time to take her with me (with me)
Cause she's ready to leave (ready to leave - now!) (let's let's go!)
Now I got to keep it real now
Cause on a 1 to 10 she's a certified 20
But that just ain't me (hey!)
Cause I don't know, if I take that chance
Just where's it going to lead?
But what I do know, is the way she dance
Make shorty alright with me
The way she "get low!"
I'm like yeah, just work that out for me
She ask for one more dance and I'm like yeah
How the hell am I supposed to leave?
(Let's go bring the beat back!) and I said..
Watch out, my outfit's rediculous
In the club looking so conspicuous
And RAWR, these women all on the prowl
If you hold the head steady, I'm a milk the cow (yeah!)
And forget about game, I'm a spit the truth (what?!)
I won't stop until I get them in they birthday suits (yeah, yeah!)
So give me the rhythm and it'll be of with they clothes
Then bend over to the FRONT - and touch your toes!
I - left the Jag and I took the Rolls
If they ain't cutting then I put them on foot patrol (let's go!) (ow!)
How you like me now?
When my pinky's valued over three hundred thou-sand!
Let's drink, you the one to please (yeah)
Ludacris fill cups like double D's (yeah!)
Me and Ush once more and we leaves them dead
We want a lady in the streets but a freak in the bed - that say..
Take that and rewind it back
Lil' Jon got the beat that make your booty go (smack)
Take that, rewind it back
Usher's got the voice that make your booty go (smack)
Take that, rewind it back
Ludacris got the flow that make your booty go (smack)
Take that, rewind it back
