Starting with music, fashion, art, and sports, we are developing promotional activities consisting of a fusion of entertainment culture. It is a space to test-drive the xbox 360 in person. It is a space providing 4 units of 200 inch wide screens and large displays. It is a cafe where tie-up suites/sweets ("collaborative" suites/sweets?) based on "popular batishie (?)" will be sold.
See, hear, touch, taste. At the XBOX 360 LOUNGE, which stimulates each of your 5 senses, enjoy hi-def entertainment now ("without delay!").
Please.

How utterly bizarre.

I thought this article about it was pretty fun too:
http://us.gizmodo.com/gadgets/columns/tokyo-decadence-microsoft-xbox-lounge-134774.php
He does make a good point though, why not put it in the gamer mecca instead of the snobberific shopping district that they did? Who knows.

Not entirely sure what to make of that. My assumption is that MS:
1) Had bad Japanese translators who translated, 'hip and young area' with 'rich and middle aged women'.
2) Godzilla wanted her babies to be born in a rich area because rich Japanese taste better then poor Japanese.
3) A nice looking store looks better with other nice stores around it. (if you object to that logic, you should have started objecting with my first assumption in the first place, so go away).
