Since it seems like the concierge team is regarded as being as good as anyone's, given the lack of success by the Four Seasons in taking on some of the tougher restaurant reservations in Tokyo, I'm wondering if this implies that the role of relationships/connections is less of a big deal in the Tokyo reservations scene (as compared to other cities where good concierges will often be able to get access to some tables ahead of the general public or when a restaurant is otherwise "sold out"), or if some reservations are just so tough that it just doesn't matter which concierge you use, it's essentially random when you'll be able to get into those places?
