You look at the city and you realize that Tokyo has been created from an economic point of view. The aesthetic point of view has been completely lost. Areas like Roppongi Hills and Shiodome are so boring.

    This is a very mild criticism of Tokyo. Tokyo is not only boring but very ugly too.

    I wouldn't know about Tokyo since I stay far away from the place. But I thought Osaka had the title of "Ugliest City in Japan". I never think of Osaka -- or Kansai -- as boring, though. Quite the contrary. Lots to do here without Tokyo's supposed craziness and big-ego attitude of we're-special-because-we're-the-center-of-the-world nonsense.
