After randomly meeting some drunk guy in Kumamoto, who claimed to be Masaya Matsumoto, a news anchor for Fuji TV, he invited me to come to the studio, and when I got there, turned out he wasn't joking. Got shown around the Fuji TV building, one of the most prominent buildings in Tokyo because of its crazy architecture, and got to see areas of the building that are closed to the public and lower level staff. Also, he's a really nice guy and his English is great.

The Fuji TV Building... you can see what I mean by crazy architecture. Take a look at the top pic to see what I mean when I refer to "the ball" later on.
