Unravel was written and performed by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure and released in 2014. It became widely known as the opening theme for the first season of the Tokyo Ghoul anime, closely linking the song with protagonist Ken Kaneki. Fan edits, covers, lyric videos, and anime compilations helped it spread far beyond the series. Alongside recognizable anime clips such as Nico Nico Nii, it remains popular in online edits because its soaring vocals and sharp dynamic changes communicate emotional tension almost instantly.
