There’s a ton of cover songs uploaded on YouTube after all. What’s more, that musical appeal of Tokyo Ghoul has been conveyed worldwide. I don’t know how it works, it might just be nothing more than conveying what you love, but it’s probably surprisingly rare for the music and the original work it was derived from to be linked in such a genuine way. TK: I think what’s unique about Tokyo Ghoul is how well its musical appeal can be expressed. I’m pretty sure it’s something like, “The partner company is here, let’s work with this artist,” but when the anime was green-lit, I just kept repeating, “This is what I like, I want to work with this artist.” Ishida: At first I didn’t know much about how anime theme songs were decided. When I heard about the compilation album, I was reminded once again that it’s rare for an anime to have theme songs that clearly reflect the vision of the original author. I asked Ishida and TK, who provided the two songs “unravel” and “katharsis” for the anime, to speak about each of their creations and their approach when it comes to confronting themselves. However, it may be safe to say that the intensity of confronting oneself in a way that only creative works can possess is what led to Tokyo Ghoul becoming such a huge hit. What each of these artists have in common are, to borrow Ishida’s words, “the impression that they are fighting against something,” and to borrow TK’s words, “scraping away a part of themselves to give birth to their creations.” As Ishida states during the interview, he projected himself too much onto his protagonist Kaneki Ken, and during the serialization of his manga he physically and mentally drove himself into a corner. From the lineup of recording artists including TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, People In The Box, österreich, amazarashi, Cö shu Nie and Ziyoou-vachi, Ishida’s ideas and Tokyo Ghoul’s view of the world are conveyed in a distinct manner. As the phrase “Compiled by Sui Ishida” implies, the author of the original work Ishida Sui himself was responsible for directing and curating the songs used in the anime. The compilation album “Tokyo Ghoul AUTHENTIC SOUND CHRONICLE Compiled by Sui Ishida” that assembles the theme songs from the anime sets itself apart from the typical anime soundtrack. The Tokyo Ghoul anime reached its conclusion late last year after being broadcasted over 4 cours.

Very interesting discussion on Ishida and TK’s creative processes, so I highly recommend reading it!
