If you input that address into google maps you get a big ol' screen on the side of a building

 

https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Jinnan%20Shibuya-ku%20Tokyo&aq=f&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl&authuser=0

[Guest Papillon]

Well here is the actual address in case anyone is going to hang around for this. I know the area and there are a few big screens on that block (in addition to the one on the suit shop).

 

渋谷区神南1丁目23-10

 

In English it's:

 

Jinan District 1, Block 23-10 Shibuya, Tokyo

 

Maybe it'll be a clue to a second new album - that'd be dope as fck. I'm a bit disappointed that I will not be able to go myself.

But actually Shibuya Boxx is several blocks away from the address given. I think this is a mistake.

Lol big time

[acroyear]

So, yeah. Obviously SOMETHING is going on there. Be great if it wasn't just another audio loop and screen projection. It'll be more substantial than that I'm thinking.

[Guest Papillon]

Maybe another clue?? To another new album lol.

Update for those who care...

Basically it just says

 

"Tonight at midnight in "scramble intersection" Boards of Canada will communicate (broadcast) a riddle".

 

I'm not sure how they know the content of the message or the fact it will be a riddle?

[skotosa]

I just need a live cam of that area. Can someone link me to a live cam of that location?

[zlemflolia]

I can't get out of my head the idea of how funny it would be if there was just nobody who cared about their riddles from the start

 

If nobody bothered posting the contents of the promos with numbers on them or even bothered to buy them

 

Nobody went to that gas station or bothered to crack the website hidden message thing

 

And they put all this work into the record hunt and there was some big show in Japan and just nobody showed up

[Guest Papillon]

My guess is the message will be on this screen. The one in the middle "mighty vision". In which case there is definetly a live streaming web cam I'll take a look to see if I can find one.

[Guest Papillon]

This is the only webcam I could find.

 

http://www.sibch.tv/share/contents/livecamera/ekimae.html

 

It's offline but could be just because I'm accessing with a mobile phone.

 

Maybe someone else will find one, but there is no audio obviously.

you're on the right track. this link works better: http://www.sibch.tv/livecamera/

 

then click on the black dot for SHIBUYA MARK CITY, the center/bottom dot. Then click on the left pink arrow for the view.

It could be a view of Shibuya scramble crossing. I'm not sure though. No audio but you could get an idea of what's going on at 24:00.
