The main attraction at Roppongi Hills Arena: 'Mother Night', from Tsubaki Noboru's 'Before Flower', an alien eye that displayed the carbon emissions of the people watching.

In front of the National Art Center, more elements from 'Before Flower' by Tsubaki Noboru.

Some of the sponsors of 'Roppongi Art Night' were beverages companies. Coincidentally there was also an 'art lounge' event at a plaza in Roppongi Hills.

On the lawn near Roppongi Hills, these colourful discs were put together as sculptures by visitors participating in Jeong Hwa Choi's 'Happy Together' workshop.

'Smile Cake, Happy Cake' created photo opportunities in front of giant sweets at Midtown.
