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.

In late 2001, Skitzmix 10 reached #9 on the mainstream ARIA Albums Chart alongside artists like Creed, Shaggy and the Bridget Jones's Diary Soundtrack. Skitz has also featured on Ministry of Sound & Wild compilations.
Skitz's track "The Ultimate" has reached #2 on the dance charts in the UK. His first pop hit "Slave to the Music" reached the top 20 in Australia in November 2003 and was a cover of an original song by Twenty 4 Seven.
In 2004, he joined forces with Mark Gable, lead singer of Australian rock band The Choirboys to rework their 1987 Australian hit "Run to Paradise" as a dance track. The song, billed as "Nick Skitz vs. the Choirboys", debuted in the top 20 of the Australian pop charts in July 2004 and was the 17th biggest selling dance single for 2004. The single also features a remix by Jason Nevins.

Seven hours later she takes the elevator to the 2nd floor
To the underground committee
That's where they'll decide if you'll be praised
Or you'll be tied up on the bathroom floor
As you scream for more
All the souls are dyin' while some idiots are tryin'
To convince you that they're cooler but they still don't know
They're about to lose control and they'll be sayin' now
Calling Radio Tokyo
The lines are down, you're good to go
Now this is real, can't you feel
Calling Radio Tokyo
The kids are feeling way to low
They're on their knees
Won't somebody please just bring them home
Get out of the black car on the sidewalk of the big stars
Of the now and then, kinda feels a little late
Someone had a bad day, so they sold your soul on e-bay
With an 8x10, autographed in pen
As you scream for more
All the souls are dyin' while some idiots are tryin'
To convince you that they're cooler but they still don't know
They're about to lose control and they'll be sayin' now
Calling Radio Tokyo
The lines are down, you're good to go
Now this is real, can't you feel
Calling Radio Tokyo
The kids are feeling way to low
They're on their knees
Won't somebody please just bring them home
Seven hours later they stopped the elevator to the 2nd floor
And there was no more
Calling Radio Tokyo
The lines are down, you're good to go
Now this is real, can't you feel
Calling Radio Tokyo
The kids are feeling way to low
They're on their knees
