Agree with all that. Can't go wrong with Shibuya, Harajuku/Omotesando area for the first-timer.
I personally gravitate towards the west side of Tokyo. Shinjuku and Ikebukuro offer endless things to do/eat, and Shinjuku is constantly undergoing transformation. I don't spend time in Shibuya as much but, when I do, I still really enjoy the place for the ambiance. Although these aren't areas one would go on the 1st or 2nd trip to Tokyo, I really like Kichijoji, Jiyugaoka and bunch of other places along Tokyu train lines.
