Just saw the BLADE RUNNER, on the TV program, modern city buildings, popular stands, japanese advertisements... In this regard, can you recommend a good "open-street" izakaya with this Tokyo. Hong-KOng resembles, in Toyko can be Shinjuku ? or the street of Shimbashi with the JR train and the Shiodome buildings ? If you have any suggestions, thank-you.

Especially at night. Looks like Ridley Scott's future rendition of Los Angeles. I even based a photo set on it in Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/42140802@N08/3957484985/in/set-72157622463230002/ The Food is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42140802@N08/sets/72157622463230002/ There's always Shomben Yokocho in Shinjuku near Odakyu/Uniqlo. That could be like Bladerunner if you go there when it is pouring rain. You can imagine yourself as Harrison Ford eating at one of the Ramen/Soba places there. Whatever you end up doing, make sure it's pouring rain and make sure you are listening to the Bladerunner Soundtrack by Vangelis.
