Tokyo Mode Gakuen is a school for folks who want to study the arts, fashion, design and media. They have a ton of groovy TV commercials and by the looks of their new building, they are making quite a few bob. The new building will be a 50 floor tower in Shinjuku and will be completed this October - more details at the official site. The interior images show mac /windows design rooms, shop window decoration studio, sewing room, creation room etc. Would love to have attended a school like this - the coolest school I've seen to date. The building in construction in Shinjuku below.Some Mode Gakuen CMs below.

Holy mother of god if only education was taking as seriously here. You can look forever and never find a school building like that.

The tallest library in the world is at University of Massachusetts Amherst. I think that's pretty impressive.

A few thousand per month, optimistically speaking... and that was in Sing. $, not yen.

All the more reason to hate schooling in America. If only our government cared more about our education then maybe we would have cool buildings like that too.
(ID #28263) Posted on 2008/02/12 23:39
That's not going to happen, our government's idea of education is to get everone to join the army and get killed when they feel like invading another country.

Am I the only that noticed it looks like a giant phallic structure? I mean it even has balls or something. I guess they need some inspiration to draw yaoi doujinshi.

wow that looks amazing, i would love to visit a design school in japan, don't think I could go, since Japanese looks complicated and I'm glad to be able to survive English hehehhe. The design school i went to had a tall building in bust area of Rosslyng, Arlington Virginia, but nothing as cool as thins.
(ID #28295) Posted on 2008/02/13 02:15
wow that's a really really pretty school. I wonder if its one of those earthquake-proof type of buildings?...
(ID #28318) Posted on 2008/02/13 05:30
Looks like someone has seen the gherkin in London. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_St_Mary_Axe Designed by Norman Foster. Its not a school tho.
(ID #28319) Posted on 2008/02/13 05:34
wow! that school is so cool but th question is how much is the tuition fee there lulz XD
(ID #28328) Posted on 2008/02/13 07:05
Very cool is right! Maybe except the fact that it looks like a... The cost to study there must be fatal.

Cant find any course prices on the site - must be an arm and a leg.
(ID #28363) Posted on 2008/02/13 10:40
but don't you need your arm to do all that design work? maybe it's cost both legs

well, surprisingly the tuition cost around ¥1,200,000 per year, probably about $10,000...its really low comparing to the university in the US right?
(ID #28377) Posted on 2008/02/13 11:44
That translates as around £5,700, in the UK university usually costs £3000 a year. That's VERY high.
(ID #28390) Posted on 2008/02/13 12:38
Wow that's somewhat cheap comparing to how much university costs in Canada for international students and not to mention tuition fees keep going up year by year in Ontario at least. is the $10,000/year for any students ? or for local students only ? Do they have different rates for international students
(ID #28449) Posted on 2008/02/13 17:03
Really expensive schools might have a tuition of $10,000 in Ontario, but most are in the 5000-8000 for the tuition, but then there are books and residence if you need it and all the ancilleries. But yeah, international students pay WAY more than locals.
(ID #28522) Posted on 2008/02/14 04:35
wow education looks interesting for once..
(ID #28380) Posted on 2008/02/13 11:46
There's only one school better than Tokyo Mode, and that's Balamb and Galbadia Garden outa FFVIII ofcourse.

Wow, I'd totally want to go there and do fashion design!

Yeay, a new skyscraper in Shinjuku Skyscraper district. They must have started on this building only recently, don't remember seeing anything like this back in November 2006. Must be an expensive school indeed. The building will probably contain some hotel, office or maybe a student dorm. 50 floors for a school is quite a lot.
(ID #28541) Posted on 2008/02/14 07:07
the tuition fee is the same for both local and international student, and the 50 floors contains nothing other than the school itself, there're also other courses other than fashion, like interior, graphic and stuff and they have around 2000 students so the school is pretty big..
