Whatever. Everyone knows the towers in Japan are smaller than the ones in the U.S.

Wonder if Japan feels a need to compensate for something. . ..

It's just going to attract giant moth larvae.

What, and miss out on the "used underpants in vending machines" joke?

Also:

the 634-meter Tokyo Sky Tree as the world's tallest tower . . . The 828-meter Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, is recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's tallest structure.

Having a separate category for "tallest tower" made sense when the CN Tower was taller than any other freestanding structure (but was not occupiable as a "building"). Now that the Burj Kalifa holds both the "tallest building" and "tallest structure" titles outright, we don't really need a "tallest tower" category.
