How old are the Sanyo and TDK signs?

The Sanyo was put up in 1980 and the TDK in 1990. Coca cola have had one since 1955 (the top one - it is a moving image one so didnt come up on a slow exposure)

Nice job capturing the movement of the place. The only thing that bothers me is that (unfortunately) the top panel is completely white, which is somewhat distracting.

Thank you.
I couldn't help it, it was the only on which was a computerised screen and not static like the other two and so it was constantly changing.

I know you couldn't help it, I was just saying it was unfortunate that it's constantly changing

One of my favorite places on earth! Great job balancing the photo with the bright ads on the right and the blurred car lights on the left. Great shot!

My only suggestion would be to maybe crop out the building on the far left just for aesthetic purposes, you know to give it a bit more symmetry.
