On that note MMM, any "insider" info concerning the 2016 bid? Does it look like Tokyo will get it?

It all depends on how much they are willing to bribe the IOC. After China, I imagine that it's getting pretty expensive, I wouldn't be surprised to see IOC members buying apartments at the Plaza Hotel in NYC.
OP, don't worry about Kyoto, you could spend a month exploring Tokyo and still not see it all. You have a few of the "must see" places listed. Roppongi Hills and Roppongi are different places. Roppongi Hills is where the wealthier expats live and shop (and work), Roppongi is a seedier (and smellier) place were foreigners go to hang out together over a beer or whatever. I'm sure you aren't visiting Tokyo just so you can drink at an Irish pub or Australian bar.
You should add a Disney park or two to your list, and you should definitely add Odaiba. Yokohama is also a lot of fun, and the shops are less expensive than those in metro Tokyo.
