Not only do we appear at Tokyo Verdy matches, but we also appear at Inagi City events!

Initiatives as a hometown

We operate in the entire Tokyo metropolitan area as our hometown. Among them, Inagi City is carrying out various initiatives as one of the local governments that have concluded a partnership agreement.

The Tokyo Verdy theme song plays the train approach melody at Inagi Station on the Keio Sagamihara Line. 

From October 2, 2019, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Tokyo Verdy, whose hometown is Inagi City, Tokyo Verdy's theme song has been introduced as the train approach melody at Inagi Station on the Keio Sagamihara Line. Platform 2 (upbound) towards Shinjuku will feature "Victory," a song familiar to supporters as the starting music for matches, while Platform 1 (downbound) toward Hashimoto will feature the calming "With You."
