Was the song _Unravel_ (OST Tokyo Ghoul) made specifically for the Anime, or
was it already made before the Anime, and was just used by the studio for the
Anime. If it predates the Anime, was it as famous as it is now, or did it gain
popularity after it appeared in the Anime ?

tokyo-ghoul theme-song
Was the Tokyo Ghoul OP made before the Anime or specifically for the anime?


I do not know if it was made specifically for the Anime, but the Anime was the
debut of the song. The first episode of the Anime having aired on July 4th,
2014 and the single containing the song being released on july 23rd, 2014.

I do remember reading that the Author, Ishida Sui, is a very big fan of [Ling
Tosite Sigure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ling_Tosite_Sigure)'s lead singer
[TK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toru_Kitajima), who was asked to sing [the
opening](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unravel_\(TK_song\)) for the Anime
debut.

From <http://tokyoghoul.wikia.com/wiki/Sui_Ishida>:

> He personally requested TK to sing the opening song for the anime's first
> season.

to support my previous claims as well.

It's pretty common to see Sui promote others via fan drawings and stuff
through his Twitter, check it out sometime!
