That store (daikanayama) is impressively designed. No wonder it's one of "The 20 Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World." . Thanks for linking to it :)

The Tsutaya T-Site store is always packed full of people too. One subtle thing about the architecture is that the white crosshatching on the exterior of the building aren't crosses but are actually hinting at the letter T. It took me a while to notice that detail.

They also have a cool service where you can browse and rent a few CDs from a pretty extensive collection and then drop them in the mail to return them a few days later. It's basically like a half-netflix option!
