The first anime I ever watched was Death Note, and somehow I never caught this shot in the anime….

Apparently in this universe, L’s detective skills were so brilliant he intervened the terrorists plans and stopped 9/11 from occurring…….god I wish that were true….

Edit:

I started my journey with anime through Death note back in 2013 i think. I had watched the anime at least 3 or 4 times and yet somehow I never saw this shot in the anime….a shot of the twin towers as if they had never fallen. Apparently in this universe. L was such an amazing detective, he intervened the terrorists plans and stopped 9/11. Too bad Kira exists in that universe.

Well 13 years later passed by, I’ve been to Japan 3 times. Spoke the language, engaged with the locals, fell in love with their customs and ways of life….and I find out the man who designed the structures you see in the first image, was named minoru Yamasaki. A Japanese American man who believed in beautiful architecture. I decided I wanted to recreate his magnum opus to say thank you for all he did for this country and what he did for architecture.

The word for Japan is 日本nihon.
The word for two long objects (like the twin towers) is 二本 nihon.
So in a way, I once again fell in love with Nihon
(日本)
(二本).

World Trade Center seen on cover of 1996 Jackie Chan movie!

So I believe I came across this cover for Rumble in the Bronx on a YouTube video and then I decided to look it up on Google images and I found this image specifically from Amazon.com as it somehow felt perfect to me as we see the World Trade Center to the right of Jackie Chan in the image above.

This really shows you what an iconic structure the original World Trade Center was in the pre-9/11 1990s as perhaps no other skyscraper or high-rise quite captured the skyline of the big apple, New York City at the time this movie was made and released. Now the only reason I did not add the name of this movie in the post's title was, of course, it would make the title longer than it needed to be as the image obviously will say the name of the movie. Enjoy!
