By the way, I´m glad that this game is getting released in the US, and without being "westernalized" like others...

Hopefully there will be more of these when the game is released! Thanks for this article, it’s interesting to see the real places in Japan like that.

And that would take a hell of a long time/impossible. So I agree with Alice that a replica is probably used, with the buildings/background on a blue screen. As for the game, I can't wait!

I do wonder given how many people pass through there every day if they even attempt to film TV shows/movies there or if there is just a life-sized replica in a Tokyo soundstage somewhere. It seems like it would be impossible. That crossing shows up quite a bit in Japanese TV shows, movies and anime.
