Oh Tokyo Sky Tree, the beauty of your structure is only slightly exceeded by your name.

Pimpninja say 10 member panel 10 too many.

did they canvas 5 year olds for this name??

No. 5 year olds speak better Engrish than the panel of judges who named this.

"Well, for starters, I'm glad I live in the countryside far away from Tokyo, but really what's so bad about Tokyo Sky Tree? I bet no matter what the name or design of this tower it would recieve a majority of negative comments."

So true. Meet the JT public.

For a start...what's a sky tree? Second...Tokyo Edo? Tokyo Tokyo Tower? Maybe they should concentrate on planting grass... Japan...the technology capital of the world...

Should have called it "Waste of money!"

After thinking about this... thing a bit more (yeah, I really have nothing better to do) I have to say I'm glad that they decided to make the phallus shiny and silver and call it "Tokyo Sky Tree" - they could have made it pink and call it "Tokyo Hello Kitty Tower" instead...

Doc, Tokyo Hello Kitty Tower would be just sick!! I think you should be a little more serious.

And so, I've thought about this long and hard and come up with the new definitive name for it ... The New Ultraman Battle Tower!! And it could topped with a huge model of his helmet that could also double as a lighthouse, blazing its beam of happiness and safety for all the world to admire and envy. And as a tourist attraction there would be a cinema inside playing nothing but Ultraman and Godzilla movies 24/7, pretty cool huh?

Betting, you are such a boy!

Sky Tree is a bit silly though, really. I mean, a tree has branches for one thing, and as Humpty Dumpty mentioned, it will be pronounced all wierd. I prefer "Tokyo Edo Tower." Or just "Edo Tower."

Hey that's what Japan needs. More construction!

That is one fugly tower.

Still, from the top, one should get a fantastic view of the haze that covers Tokyo.

Peace

Yes, I am a boy Orange hehe.

I honestly think that New Tokyo Tower would be a better name though.
