Ah, the winds of change. Didn't Lotte buy up the remaining BK locations
when they decided to exit? At least the one in Osaki seemed to make a
seamless shift to Lotteria. And now they're coming back? I guess
someone decided that Tokyo needed a foreign brand?

As for KK, they just opened one in the pedestrian area in
Minami-Shinjuku, across the bridge from Takashimaya. There were around
40 people lined up to get in when I went by, but I didn't join them so
I don't know what it's like inside. I've never tried the food.
