OP 2Season 2 (Root A)

"Munou"

by österreich

"Asphyxia"

by Co shu Nie

ED 1Season 1

"Seijatachi"

by People In The Box

About the artist: People In The Box is a Japanese progressive rock band whose intricate compositions gave Tokyo Ghoul its most musically complex ending.

"More"

by Co shu Nie
