This one came in under the radar! Thanks for posting.
I like the design. The massing, curves, and split configuration are an appropriate response to the orientation of the site, and how the streets move out from it. It deviates from the typical boxy Tokyo style, but still maintains Tokyo's relative conservatism when it comes to high-rise design. It's different, but not too different or flashy.
I'm looking forward to the cladding, the execution of which could make this a potential landmark, aside from simply being the tallest (inhabitable) high-rise.
