Slightly older pic. We can see the cladding wasn't as close to the top as it is in the video above.

It has been officially named... TOFROM YAESU TOWER

Is it supposed to mean something like "To: ABC / From: XYZ" as in an email?
Well, it's an office building after all, I guess they'll send many of those, so it makes sense


Also, construction status (it's almost fully clad):

Read a bit of this article and they explain the meaning behind the name.

Translated from japanese:

The "To" in the name means "To Yaesu" and "From" means "From Yaesu." The logo has a knot motif, which reflects the facility's concept of "connecting people, time, and places," and the naming "To Yaesu" and "From Yaesu" expresses the desire to connect diverse values.

The three knots in the symbol mark represent the "Y" of Yaesu, and are intended to represent the central location of Tokyo and Japan, where people, things, and events from all over the world come together.

Yaesu, Nihonbashi, and Kyobashi, where Tofrom Yaesu is located, are known as the "YNK Area" after the initials of each area, and many redevelopment projects are underway in the YNK Area.

This thing caught my eye. There will be a private space called the "RE:TREAT Room powered by Upmind", which will let you experience a hot spring treatment, using hot spring mist.

You can enter with your clothes on
