Inui Toko's song "Tokyo City Night" is the opening theme for the Yomiuri TV drama "Jotei," which starts late night on October 22 in the Drama DiVE slot, every Thursday at 0:59 a.m. The song, written by YU and Takahiro Yamaguchi with music and arrangement by I Don't Like Mondays, is on her second mini album "One day," released October 7, 2026. Travis Japan's "Checkmate" is the ending theme.
The drama adapts the manga written by Kurashina Ryo and illustrated by Wake Issaku. Its cast includes Saito Nagisa and Nakamura Kaito, the latter also a member of Travis Japan, whose "Checkmate" handles the ending theme.
"Tokyo City Night" is described as a pop tune with an 80s city pop nuance. Broadcast outside the Kansai area follows on FCT Fukushima Central Television from November 4 and RAB Aomori Broadcasting from December 2, with TVer carrying catch-up streaming.
