The official YouTube channel for Japanese rock band THE YELLOW MONKEY is now streaming a music video for their 26th CD single song "CAT CITY," which is featured as the opening theme for the summer 2025 TV anime Nyaight of the Living Cat . ZUMI, known for his MV works for Japanese female idol groups such as AKB48, HKT48, Morning Musume, and =LOVE, served as the director of the music video. Based on the concept of the “psychedelic cat world” provided by the director, the members perform completely as cats. THE YELLOW MONKEY "CAT CITY" Music Video Nyaight of the Living Cat Creditless Opening Video "The relationship between humans (monkeys) at the mercy of cats is the underlying theme of this psychedelic worldview," said director ZUMI. The members gave me the idea of 'Cat x Zombie,' which gave me a lot of clues. I think it turned out to be a great music video, depicting a world of chaos in a super psychedelic pop style to express the 'love of cats' to a frightening degree, which extends to domination by cats and possession by the cat itself." The CD single of "CAT CITY" released on July 9, ranking #3 in Oricon's daily single charts on its first day.

Crunchyroll describes Nyaight of the Living Cat as such: Run! In 20XX, the world is dominated by cats. A virus that turns anyone who touches a cat into a cat has spread into a worldwide nyandemic. Anytime cats rub against a human, they turn the person into a cat. Can humanity fight their urge to pet cats to survive in a cat-ridden world?
