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. Upcoming projects include an original soundtrack for Atlus' dream-induced mystery game Catherine, and arrangements for a PSP port of Persona 2: Innocent Sin which, like PSP Persona 1, Meguro will also be overseeing as director.

Wasurenai yasashii hohoemi kanashisa kakushita hitomi wo
Negau koto tsurakutemo tachimukau yuuki kimi ni moratta
Dakara yukune yume no naka mezametara mata aeruyo
Tooi kioku mune ni hime utau
Hakanaku tayutau sekai wo kimi no te de mamottakara
Eien no yasuragi ni tsutsumarete love through all eternity
Yasashiku mimamoru watashi no kono te de nemurinasai
Waratteta naiteta okotteta kimi no koto oboeteiru
Wasurenai itsumademo kesshite until my life is exhausted
Kousaten kikoetekita kimi ni yoku nita koe
Furimuite sora wo aogi miru koboresouna namida koraete

The song "Kimi no Kioku" by Shoji Meguro is a touching and sentimental ballad that is designed to evoke powerful emotions of love, loss, and longing.
