It all began in 2003 when a 6-year-old boy from Osaka was fatally crushed in one of Roppongi Hills' revolving doors. Three years on, one of the complex's most celebrated residents, Livedoor CEO Takafumi Horie, finds his IT company in shambles as he faces a litany of criminal charges. And earlier this month financier Yoshiaki Murakami, another denizen of Roppongi Hills, was arrested on suspicion of insider trading, which sent stock prices on Tokyo's bourse plummeting for the second time this year...more...

Interesting..

"Foreigners worship their own countries' deities, so one might say the old spirits that protected Roppongi have lost their force," Y adds. "Then came redevelopment, which was aligned unfavorably, which also affects the corporations quartered in Roppongi Hills. All these corporate crimes are a result of the bad spirits that converged on the district."....

Another negative influence, Y asserts, is the Oedo subway line, completed in 2000. Despite reducing commuting time to Shinjuku, the projected number of passengers has failed to materialize, and deficits continue to mount.

"Old Edo was planned by the priest Tenkai with full consideration to the proper fengshui," Y remarks. "Afterward buildings and subways continued to be constructed in accord with his plan. But the Oedo Line disregarded it, causing a wrong flow of ki. As the line passes by Aoyama Cemetery, it disturbs the spirits resting therein, and they're transported into Roppongi along the subway tunnel. Since there's no shrine on the other side to direct them back out, they linger.

"That's another reason why I fear more violent crimes and accidents will occur in Roppongi in the future."

I didn't realize the crimes of Horie and Murakami were violent.. And as for accidents, I'm still waiting for my prediction of Roppongi Hills 'accidents' to materialize.. ]Tokyo Midtown Project[/URL] will be known as the TOWERS OF TERROR!!.. I certainly hope so.
