I've got no idea what this building is housing, but it's got quite the funky shape. Anyways, it's located right across the movie theatre where my friend was managing.
Found this light pop song in the backlog, and the reason that I kept singer-songwriter Haruhi Aiso's（相曽晴日）"Building Gray" is that it is a track on her 2nd album "Kaze wa Kimagure"（風はきまぐれ...The Whimsical Wind）released in August 1983. Usually when I remember songs from that year, they come up as either aidoru or City Pop, and "Building Gray" is definitely neither.
It's actually a melancholy ballad which starts with some nice choral harmonizing off the top before Aiso and a lonely piano go into a number of regret from a former lover's betrayal. "Building Gray" sounds a little like a downbeat version of Masayuki Suzuki's（鈴木雅之）"Wakare no Machi"（別れの街）, but that's not a slam against either song at all. It is a refreshingly spare ballad with some lushness in the arrangement approaching the end. However, that strong piano chord at the very end lets the listener know that things haven't gotten onto the recovery mode just yet.
