Now, I am not saying in any way that Vancouver is like Tokyo (there is no comparison) but, just from this one angle with Mt. Baker (a stratovolcano similar in size and form to Mt. Fuji) looming in the far background and the distant Metrotown skyline in the midground (creating a cool layered urban skyline peak system) with the Vancouver skyline in the foreground sitting next to the sea with shipping tankers at birth does give this one angle a Tokyo feel. Also the fact that from this angle the topography is relatively flat from downtown Vancouver until you reach Mt. Baker adds to the illusion.
Also, regarding Edmonton, I have actually always loved the Edmonton skyline, it has a really interesting collection of highrises downtown with some pretty good variations in colour.
