I corrected that for you.

I actually now have a PASMO card, and took the extra step to customize it for me. (Steve D***** is the name on the card.)
But that doesn't diminish that the one-, two-, or three-day open tickets are no longer valuable. You can still obtain them for a deep discount at Tokyo airports.
Also, both Tokyo Metro and Toei have tie-ups where, if you opt to stay in Yokohama, you can buy a one-day open ticket which will provide a round trip on either Toyoko, or Keikyu, and unlimited rides on (corresponding) Metro, or Toei lines. There is a difference between the two Tokyo train lines (9 v 4), but the latter also includes the one remaining streetcar tram line in northern Tokyo.
There are venues in Tokyo which you cannot reach via JR. I'll continue to bellow this for as long as I need to. Please consider those other neighborhoods. Do not become a slave to your JR pass.
