Music like Shoji Meguro

Shoji Meguro (目黒 将司, Meguro Shōji, born June 4, 1971) is a Japanese composer, guitarist, and video game designer. He is best known for his work on the Persona series of video games by Atlus, of which he served as the sound director for until leaving the company in 2021.

Meguro has also worked on games in non-musical roles, such as serving as the creative director for the PSP remakes of Persona and Persona 2, and creating indie games.

Born in Tokyo, Japan, Meguro became familiar with technology from a young age due to his parents running a factory. As a child, Meguro did not take an interest in popular music, and instead listened to and enjoyed classical. In junior high, he became interested in the likes of jazz artists such as T-Square, Herb Alpert, and Casiopea. It was in junior high that he became particularly fond of writing and profiteering music. He then majored in hydrodynamics at the College of Industrial Technology at Nihon University.
