Thank you for the boost of confidence~ It's certainly appreciated. ^^
Quite a scholar you are, looking up information and gathering your facts together.~
SHINJUKU... I do like the sound of this more and because I have heard of SHINJUKU a bit more, but that doesn't mean SHIBUYA is terrible. It's just the 'j' looks more appealing aesthetically. Probably not a good reason... just my artist's eye I guess? xD
NIHONBASHI... Maybe if you separated it and had one word stack above. So NIHON is the top and add BASHI underneath NIHON but a little to the right side.
It looks pretty neat instead of one name... I like the sound of it too. Maybe my idea is not right...
ODAIBA... if you used it by itself... it's pretty short and sweet... maybe it needs another word attached.
Overall, I can't say for sure which one is the best... ODAIBA BASE? BASS?...Just random thoughts again...
I did like Shinjuku and Nihon the most... they have that street vibe.
As for the article:
It's quite a given that such things would occur. Some people can find those outcomes positive. Some find them negative. Some may have no say. Some are indifferent. Some are just saying things without meaning. In the end, that influence brought along a culture clash, then a culture connection, and perhaps a culture consistency.
There are many outcomes to that situation, but I find it pretty positive. You can use that little article to your advantage and find some inspiration from it. Maybe include it as a little banner or fading background~ Another random thought~ xD
I do like the idea of 'connection'... maybe you can play off of that word.
All the best to you and the rest of the crew~!
