Talk:Tokyo Tower

message: The comment regarding the fact that the Tokyo Tower can be seen in a videogame appears appropriate in the context of the article; it appears that someone just wishes to mention their favorite videogame; would consider editing out.  "The tower can also be seen in Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero when driving on the C1 route." Eastend 15:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Video game appearance

message: Regarding the cliche of Tokyo Tower being used in movies, manga, etc., perhaps an editor should add that it is the scene of the final battle in CLAMP's X animated movie. I assume that it is the scene of the final battle in the X:1999 manga and the animated series as well, but I cannot confirm that, as I've never seen or read them.

And maybe some one could note that Tokyo Tower is commonly destroyed in fiction, just using Digimon Series 2 and several series of Gundam as examples.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.9.99 (talk) 23:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The article read "From dusk to 12 PM, the tower is brilliantly illuminated in orange."  I assume this was meant to read "From dusk to 12 AM," i.e., from dusk to midnight, and have changed it accordingly.  Could someone please confirm this?  (Although, it makes no sense to illuminate the tower once the sun comes up.)  HEL 03:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This part of the article indicated that the tower was an antenna, which it is not.  It is a structure that supports antennas.  I've made the appropriate change. -- hosikawafuzi 20:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The article presently states that the shrine in the tower is the highest in Tokyo. Is that correct? There is a shrine, Musashi Mitake Jinja, on Mount Mitake. I'm not sure just how high up the mountain it is, but the mountain (929 m) is quite a bit higher than the tower (333 m) so the shrine could be higher than Tokyo Tower's. The latitude and longitude of the shrine are given in the article in the Japanese Wikipedia at 武蔵御嶽神社. Anyone have a topographic map handy? Fg2 (talk) 21:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm though I'm not done sourcing that section yet, I got that bit of info from the official site. The exact quote is: "Located at the highest spot in all 23 wards of Tokyo, this Shinto shrine grant the faithful divine favors such as success in love, successful passing of academic examinations and traffic safety."

replies: text: Ah, mystery solved. They were precise in saying 23 wards, not in Tokyo. Thanks Fg2 (talk) 20:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Did ever use AM-transmitters Tokyo Tower for broadcasting? AM-transmitters usually use a tower or mast insulated against ground as antenna, but Tokyo Tower is grounded. However a wire-antenna fixed at the tower also works, but the pictures of the tower did not show such a device.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:DF:1F34:7B69:486F:C04A:509:99BC (talk) 01:13, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a great catch. FCCdata's mirror of MIC info gives the coordinates 36 4' 9.80" N/139 37' 36.98" E. That looks much, much more like a medium wave transmission site. The transmitter section was way out of date, especially given that JOUD shut down in 2018 and J-WAVE also decamped to Skytree. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:29, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
