I first took notice of this building in the Bill Murray/Scarlett Johansson feature, Lost In Translation (2003) and wondered what building it was.

It is the NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo.

According to Wikipedia, construction of the building started in 1997 and completed in 2000.

More from Wikipedia:

The NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building (NTTドコモ代々木ビル NTT Docomo Yoyogi Biru^?) is a skyscraper located in the Shibuya in Tokyo, Japan. At 240 metres (790 ft) tall, it is the third tallest building in Tokyo. After the installation of a clock in 2002, the building became the tallest clock tower in the world,^[1][2] but was surpassed in 2011 by the Mecca Royal Hotel Clock Tower in Saudi Arabia.

The NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building is owned by the NTT Docomo group. Despite the building's name, it is not the head office for the company, whose headquarters are located in the top floors of the Sannō Park Tower. The building houses some offices, but is mainly used to house technical equipment (switching equipment, etc.) for the company's cellular telephone service.
