[UPDATE] Kojima Productions Building Is On Fire

I have no idea about the circumstances surrounding this, but for some reason the Konami building situated in the Roppongi disctrict in Tokyo has a lot of smoke coming from the top floors.

A picture was just posted on Twitter by @wataru_hrt, and @sphere037 posted another picture from a different angle. For those who don’t know, that particular Konami building is where Kojima Productions are based.

Maybe Arsenal Gear crashed into it? Maybe it’s transforming into a Metal Gear? Maybe terrorists have taken it over? Maybe Sunny is cooking eggs?!

Sorry for the shitty jokes, and I genuinely hope that nobody is hurt in the fire.

Twitter always gives way to gaming news regarding catastrophes in Japan; remember the rumours that the Pokémon creator had died during earthquakes?

Anyway, Konami has been contacted and I’ll be sure to update this article with any response or news regarding the incident as soon as I can.

UPDATE: As promised, I'm updating with new news. A Konami spokeswoman is saying there wasn't a fire, but an odd surplus of building steam. What caused it? Not a clue. But all is good.

I don't actually think the jokes are that funny =\

People could be out of work for a while depending on the extent of the damage (even if there's not a major fire, the smoke damage alone is terrible) .. so many other reasons, too. ugh. For some, their job is their livelihood, and watching all that go up in smoke.. It's sad, really. And if it's not serious, thank goodness

I think more people would know what you are talking about had you said Konami.

First sentence of the article starts out stating that this is a Konami building. So any one who does not skip over the first sentence of this news article, will indeed know that this article is about Konami.

moar steam...

Am I the only one who thought it was steam in the first place? Steam and smoke actually look a lot different.

Dissipation being one of the big reasons.

# Second thought — mrcory 2012-02-11 10:30

I am fairly certain that it is from an evaporator. (I imagine it was cold when the picture was taken.
