The first time I watched the seinen dark fantasy anime series Tokyo Ghoul, I was hooked immediately. It was awesome! I don’t care what everyone else say. I love both seasons of the anime, even if there are a lot of differences from the manga.
One of the most memorable parts of the anime is the opening theme song Unravel by TK from the band Ling Tosite Sigure. When I heard it for the first time, I was like: “Oh my gosh! This song is awesome! I have to get this song!” Months afterwards, I was hanging out on Youtube and by pure coincidence I encounter this amazing piano cover by Animenz. If you’re not following this guy yet, oh my gosh, you’re missing out. He’s a piano genius! I love all of his videos, but my favourite is his cover of Tokyo Ghoul’s Unravel. Watch his video below and prepare to be amazed.
lsn’t it awesome? I wish I could play the piano like him. I dabbled with the piano exactly two times in my life. First was when I was in second-third grade; second was when I was in tenth grade. I liked it enough, but unfortunately I don’t have the passion for it. Oh well. But at least I do enjoy listening to amazing pianists like Animenz. He’s now one of my favourite Youtubers.
Did you like this piano cover? Do you know other amazing covers of Unravel?
I have watched all Tokyo ghoul’s anime .
Hello Emma. Nice to meet you. Yes, I love Tokyo Ghoul too. It’s a great series and the anime soundtracks are amazing, especially “Unravel”. Thank you for visiting me. Cheers!
Thanks! Indeed, it’s such a beautiful piano cover of an amazing song.
He’s one of my favourite pianists! It’s a shame that he’s on a break now but I can’t wait for him to come back stronger with more awesome videos.
I know, right? I’m sure he’ll come back with more anisong awesomeness. I love his videos. He’s a great pianist. I wish I could play like him but that will sadly remain only a wish. . .I’ll just content myself with watching his videos. Thanks for dropping by.
I’m always so jealous of people with musical (and artistic) talent!! He did amazing!
I know, right? Same here. I tried the piano and guitar before but unfortunately I don’t have any talent in them. Oh well. At least I tried. How about you? Tried playing any instrument?
I played the flute for a while back in elementary/middle school. I wasn’t very good at it.
I know, right? I love this song! It’s so awesome. Can you send me a link to that? I tried to search it but the one I found wasn’t really the actual voice actors. Thanks.
Animenz did a excellent job on doing this song. When I first heard this song, I had to replay it multiple times. Unravel is amazing and I don’t mind hearing again while watching Tokyo Ghoul. It’s true, I barely started XD.
I want to buy this song but iTunes don’t have the official anime opening. I will probably have to buy it as a CD.
I know, right? It’s the best piano cover of an anisong I’ve ever heard so far. I listen to Unravel alot. It’s amazing. I love it! I also like listening to covers. Thanks for dropping by and commenting. Cheers!
That piano cover was spot on great. I could never do it great like him. I never actually played the piano lol. You’re welcome Arria. I always enjoy visiting your blog. It’s wonderful place share my interest. Cheers :).
I know, right? He’s an awesome pianist. I love all his videos but this Unravel cover is my favourite video of him. I see, but do you play any instruments? I tried piano & guitar before but unfortunately I don’t have the musical talent for any of them. How sad. Aaaw. Thanks so much, Matt. I appreciate it. Cheers!
He is quite a talented pianist. I don’t play any instruments. I did take a music class and learn about different cultures and how they do music. I even did a research paper on J-pop lol. You’re welcome Arria. I enjoy supporting what I love :). Cheers!!
Oh my gosh. That’s awesome. Really? A research paper on J-pop. In high school? Or university?
Uh, no. Trust me, I know when someone’s good or bad when singing. And I’m definitely not good. I’m actually inconsistent. . .well, mostly bad. I think it’s mostly because I’m pretty active and shameless as a kid when performing in front of people so I was the only one they could force into doing it because the others were so shy. Ahaha! I don’t sing solo anymore in choirs or in front of a lot of people. I embraced my introverted nature as an adult and I’d rather be called a killjoy than be forced to perform in front of people again. I’ll probably only do it again if I gain something from it, like a marks for a presentation or something. OOooooooh. That’s so interesting. I never had the chance to research and write about J-pop. I’m kind of envious.
Haha don’t feel bad Arria. I bet it’s not worse as my cracking voice. My voice if I sing is goes up and down in pitching. Just like you, I prefer to be an introvert.
I can be extroverted too, but my true nature is introverted. I’m comfortable either way, although I get tired easily when in a crowd. Ahaha! Well, now we know that we’re no Celine Dion or Phil Collins.
Oh my gosh. Utada is one of my favourite singers. She has such a disctinct voice.
That’s cool. I don’t think I can be extroverted like you haha. I don’t really being in crowds or being the center of attention. I agree, we don’t have their voices XD.
Utada is one of my favorite singers. Her voice is like an angel XD.
Speaking of Utada Hikaru, I just saw a post about her new album and oh my gosh, she looks so thin!
She is?! I am surprised. I wonder why. I don’t really follow her. I hope it’s nothing too serious.
Yes. It was just a coincidence. I saw this post on my reader about her upcoming album and I had to do a double-take because I almost didn’t recognize her. She’s so thin! I don’t know. . .maybe she’s on a diet or something. She looks good, though. I was just so surprised because the last time I saw some of her pictures, she wasn’t exactly thin.
By the way, nice new profile photo. HEhehe. You’re really getting into Tokyo Ghoul, eh?
Really? That’s odd. I maybe jumping into conclusions but I hope she’s okay. I hope she’s not dealing with stress. I heard long time ago she lost her mother. I saw some images and she looks okay. Still, what happened?
Thanks. I wanted to change it since I did finish watching the 1st season. I chose Kaneki as my profile.
I don’t know. She just got married in Italy. . .she was featured in Italian news, I believe. Maybe, that’s it? I don’t know.
I like Kaneki better with white hair. . . .But the black hair suits you better especially since I was so used to you using Mikado as your profile pic.
She got married at Italy? That some new news for me haha. I can imagine being it hard to spend time with marriage and do her music career.
I think she took a break when she got married. Even stopped updating her website and social media sites for awhile.
Well, it’s up to you. I like Kaneki in white hair. Anyway, enjoy Tokyo Ghoul!
Oh I see. Looks like she wanted focus on family. I guess she wanted to distant herself from social media. If she needs a break, let her have it.
Thanks and I will. Kaneki is cool with white hair. Too bad he barely gets it on the last episode of Season 1.
I’m not sure. I don’t follow her as much anymore. Oh well. Read the manga. S2 of anime veers away from it so it’s awesome that we have different plots to follow.
Me neither. I like her music but I don’t follow her private life. I need to the manga. I did hear the fans say that the manga is different the anime. I want to see how it differs to the manga. I have read volume 1 and that was slightly different than the anime.
Enjoy! I really enjoyed both manga & anime despite of what others say.
Thanks. I do want to read more the manga. The anime in the first season was good but I kinda want to see how it was written in the books.
The manga’s really good, especially after the timeskip. I wonder if that part will be adapted in anime too. I hope so.
Yeah I heard it was good. I read the first volume and I really enjoyed it. I felt like it was a steady pace than the anime.
Indeed. The anime was really intense, but it was awesome. The manga’s really good too, though.
Ahaha! I totally understand. But are you reading the manga now?
No not yet. So far, I haven’t pick any new manga yet. I do plan to buy more later on. I do need to read more of Tokyo Ghoul and compare it to the anime.
I know, right? I think Animenz composed the piano sheet for Unravel himself. So awesome. Ahaha! I can imagine. You just couldn’t peel your eyes away from his super fast hands. He’s just so awesome in the piano.
Oh my gosh. That was a great Spanish rendition of Unravel. She also does other anisongs, it seems. Thanks for sharing! I’ll check the rest of channel out. There’s also an acoustic guitar cover but it’s not as impressive.
Indeed. Actually Unravel is the first song that I know of TK. It was only afterwards that I began to listen to his other songs. I like his style. When you hear his voice and way of singing, you’ll know immediately that it’s TK. Thanks for dropping by, Crim. I appreciate it. Cheers!
