A month ago, I blogged about a contest for people to have their message shown on one of the giant screens at Shibuya Crossing.

Someone responded saying at the biggest one on the Q-Front Building is gone. Can anyone confirm this?

Armand's Rancho Del Cielo: Shibuya Crossing's Q-Front Building Giant Screen Gone?

Hi Armand,

this is a picture of the Q-Front building taken this morning. The large screen has definitely been removed, and it doesn't look like a temporary measure to me, given that the first reports on the internet surfaced last summer:

Armand, the answer is here

=> 渋谷Qフロント新媒体のご案内 | 交通広告ニュース

The ad agency running the screen at the Q-Front Bldg. announced in October 2012 that they will stop airing ads as of January 2013. Instead of the screen they will offer "visual sheets" (Q's Wall + Q'sEYE) as displayed on the photo.

Thanks, Thomas. Looks like we have the answer. It is almost akin to having the Hollywood Sign removed and replaced with billboards.

We may have jumped the gun on this. Someone posted a comment at my blog that a smaller monitor screen is to be installed and ready to go by August 1. We shall see...maybe.

Yes, that seems to be correct. Their latest update is from May 9, 2013:

渋谷ハチ公交差点のランドマーク Q FRONTビルの大型ビジョン「Q'S EYE」がリニューアルして新Q'S EYEとなり再販となります。 画面は小さくなりますが、16：9の比率に変更となり素材の流用が容易となりました。 放映開始は、8/1を予定。

先着企画で、100万円（15秒ﾗ4回/hﾗ7日）のところを10万円で実施可能です。
パチンコ、公営競技の掲出も可能となりました。
是非ともご検討ください。

Pretty steep ad rates though!
