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. 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.

Would've been nice if the final Arcana change wasn't just a variation of the first change, and had him repeat all that he had said before.

"The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope.

Yes, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed...
I. Attaining one's dream requires a stern will and unfailing determination.
II. The silent voice within one's heart whispers the most profound wisdom.
III. Celebrate life's grandeur... its brilliance... its magnificence...
IV. Only courage in the face of doubt can lead one to the answer...
V. It is indeed a precious gift to understand the forces that guide oneself...
VI. There is both joy and wonder in coming to understand another...
VII. One of life's greatest blessings is the freedom to pursue one's goals.
VIII. To find the one true path, one must seek guidance amidst uncertainty...
IX. It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly, and forge one's own path...
X. Alongside time exists fate, the bearer of cruelty.
XI. Only with strength can one endure suffering and torment.
XII. In the face of disaster lies opportunity for renewal.

The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope.

Yet, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed...
XIII. Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are... Death awaits you."

В тот момент, когда человек пожрал плод знания,
он решил свою судьбу... Вверяя свое будущее картам,
человек цепляется за смутную надежду.
Достижение своей
мечты требует твердой воли и неизменной решимости.
Тихий голос в сердце шепчет самую
глубокую мудрость
Празднуйте величие жизни,
это блеск,
это великолепие
Только мужество перед лицом сомнений может привести к ответу
Это действительно драгоценный дар -
понимать силы, которые направляют тебя.
В том, чтобы понять другого, есть и радость, и удивление
Одно из величайших благословений жизни - это свобода
преследовать свою цель.
Чтобы найти единственный истинный путь, нужно искать руководство,
допускающее неопределенность
Требуется большое мужество, чтобы честно взглянуть на себя
и проложить свой собственный путь
Наряду со временем существует судьба,
несущая жестокость
Только с силой
можно переносить страдания и мучения
Перед лицом катастрофы
есть возможность для обновления
В тот момент, когда человек пожрал плод знания,
он решил свою судьбу...
Вверяя свое будущее картам,
человек цепляется за смутную надежду.
Тем не менее, арканы - это средство, с помощью которого все раскрывается.
За проторенным путем лежит абсолютный конец.
Не имеет значения, кто ты, тебя ждет смерть.

I played Persona 5 first, then Persona 4, then recently finally beating Persona 3, and I had no idea what to expect for the final boss fight. Hearing this song which is remixed of the normal velvet room theme after playing all those 3 games was one of the coolest expeirences that I've had in gaming. It felt like all the hundreds of hours i've spent in P4/P5 led up to this clashing moment with the final boss, this game and this fight is seriously, the coolest and most thrilling moment i've had in my time of playing games.

Ok, look. All I mean is if your being a good little player you’re going to going to the velvet room constantly. From start to finish, it is possibly the most consistent part of your journey other than Tartarus itself.

This is it, it screams. The journey ends here.

@foucherchristophe1685

This song is kinda deep actually. In the beginning, there’s a slow build up that remind us that “this is it”, it gives you the feeling that humanity is confronting “death” , in the sense of eternal sleep: which is to be idle for eternity or to give up on life and rest forever. However, when the singing comes in, it echoes humanity’s remnant hope that cries out, to live on , to struggle despite the pain that comes with living. And those dwindling prayers were answered, the messiah resolutes himself to keep humanity‘s despair at bay by transforming himself into a door in order to save humanity from itself even though perhaps deep inside him he cares more about his friends than humanity at a whole. All of this can be felt by listening, if this doesn’t convince you that this is one of the best musical masterpieces ever, nothing would.

@ven5682

Persona 3's final boss battle is similiar to FF6 final boss battle, where you fight several "type" of boss. What makes it different is in FF6, all your characters get to fight the boss divided in 3 parties IIRC while Persona 3 only 4 member chosen until you beat the boss.

Both battle was intense and this music fits for both battle, simply masterpiece.

I know Dancing Mad is a fan favorite & one of the most iconic final boss themes in gaming alongside One Winged Angel from FFVII & The Extreme from FFVIII, & I think it’s good, but I dunno, it didn’t click with me like the other 2 themes & I don’t find Dancing Mad that special, no offense. But The Battle for Everyone’s Soul from Persona 3 is fucking amazing & one of the best video game tracks I’ve ever heard! And I love that the Velvet Room plays in the 2nd half of this theme!

P3R (Persona 3 Remastered) for PS4, with enhanced graphics, the ability to control party members in battle, and the choice between male/female route.

That would be the perfect, definitive version of Persona 3, in my opinion.
