It wasn't worth the effort. The show was pretty.... but if you are looking for lights, this isn't the place. If you are looking for music and laser show, this place is okay.
Felt bad, no people. Pretty empty.
Next time, I think I would rather just wander the streets where there are lots of lights.

I usually find these light shows in Japan to be deeply disappointing and a waste of time, I don't know what the attraction really is. You got lucky it wasn't crowded, disappointing and crowded is even worse than disappointing and sparsely attended. If you want truly miserable when it comes to illumination shows, this one takes the cake:

As an aside, the Oikeibajo station is on the Haneda Monorail, which isn't "not connected to any network." The Monorail terminates at Hamamatsu-cho, a major JR node, and there is an Oedo line station below Hamamatsu-cho station.
