Shoji Meguro (目黒将司) is a game music composer, 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 RPGs, 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.
He has also composed music for the Trauma series, including Under the Knife and its remake, Second Opinion. His most recent work includes Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon and was also given directorial and arranger duties for the PSP remake of Persona. Upcoming projects include Trauma Team, the PSP port of Persona 3, and the next in the Megaten franchise, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. |
