Just 1km east of Asakusa, the tallest building is being built. The Tokyo Sky Tree stands as of now stands at whopping 408m on Friday. The plan for this building is expected to reach 634m by 2012. The tower is located in the Narihirabashi/Oshiage are of Sumida Ward in Tokyo. Construction for the tower starting in July 2008.

The reason for this tower? Japan wants to have the tallest stand alone tower in the world. They believe that this will show Japan’s cutting edge technology and introduce their culture to the world.

Don’t know about you, but I’d be kind of freaked out and excited at the same time to go in that thing.

If you’re awake, Japan time, you can watch a live feed from their cameras at SkyTreeLiveCam.com

Watching the video kind of reminds me of Jenga with all the parts being lifted and placed on top.

As you guys know, it was revealed that SNSD’s Tiffany and Yuri would leave their positions as MC on MBC Music Core after 484 days due to SNSD’s upcoming Japan activities.

The two girls therefore decided to give us viewers a beautiful farewell gift as they performed a harmonious stage of Baby Baby, a song from artist 4men, on today’s Music Core.

Although it is sad to see them go, don’t be too disappointed. Even though the SNSD members are stopping their fixed program activities in Korea (other than Seohyun), the girls will still be making guest appearances on various shows so it’s not like we won’t be seeing them for a long while.

Also, don’t forget to congratulate Tiffany on her birthday August 1st (tomorrow)!

Without further ado, check out Tiffany and Yuri’s farewell performance below and a SNSD reunion!

As she began to cry, Tiffany’s last words were, “I thank everyone at MBC and those who have shown love towards Music Core.” She later added, “We promise that we’ll be returning.”

As Yuri gave her last bow, she said, “Because of Music Core, I was happy every day…We’ll return as SNSD so please wait for us.”

The word from Music Core is that special MCs would be employed while they look for permanent replacements so stay tuned to allkpop to find out who’ll be replacing the two girls as MCs!
