Biography

Tokyo, Japan (1996 – present)

Shōji Meguro (目黒将司, Meguro Shōji) born June 4, 1971, is a music composer based in Tokyo, best known for his work on the Shin Megami Tensei series of RPGs by Atlus. His first work for Atlus was on the collaborative soundtrack to 1996’s Persona, where, among other things, he composed the theme of the Velvet Room. He would then move onto bigger roles by composing half of the soundtrack to Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, and a nearly solo effort for the Dreamcast slasher Maken X.

However, he began his rise to prominence in the game music scene for his work on Atlus’s PlayStation 2 Megami Tensei games, beginning with Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne in 2003. He would quickly follow up with the guitar-laden Digital Devil Saga and its more electronic oriented sequel, along with Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army. He attained more wide acclaim for his pop-imbued soundtracks for Persona 3 and Persona 4. More recent Shin Megami Tensei works include Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, both directorial and arranger duties for the PSP remake of the first Persona, new tracks for the PSP port of Persona 3, and dark original compositions for the latest in the main Megami Tensei series, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey.

He has also composed music for the Trauma series, including Under the Knife and its remake, Second Opinion, along with contributions to its spiritual sequel Trauma Team.

    Meguro didn't compose for Bleach. Shiro Sagisu did.

    The best part of the soundtracks is how each game has its own sound. Catherine is low to up-tempo jazz, P3 has a hip-hop vibe, P4's pop and r&b sound, DDS 1&2 with synthetics and electronica, and Nocturne with experimental rock... Just amazing. So disappointed he's not doing SMT IV.

    I used to think P3 was his best soundtrack, but I've been partial to Nocturne's soundtrack recently.

    @down Dude, don't even remind me of this terrible fact. I'm not even looking forward to SMT IV as much as I was before.

    Sort of disappointed that he's not doing SMT IV. I don't want him to stick only to Persona games in the future, because that would be a regress. :/

    Meguro made very few songs for P4A (Best Friends, The Junes Hero, The Wandering Wolf, Spirited Girl and Shadows of the Labyrinth) and none of the remixes were made by him

    @down To each his own. But I think it will take quite some time for him to have more variety than Nobuo. (maybe when he manages to learn how to make better use of strings that do not come from a guitar or a bass)
