Shoji Meguro is credited as the composer for many of the games ATLUS released in that time frame. From my knowledge, he's the one who passed the torch to Atsuji Kitajo around the 3DS era (including SMT IV and Persona Q. Not sure about the art teams behind Etrean Odyssey, though)

Coming back to this video after p3r and I wish they fixed the lyrics for moons reaching out for the stars too. The new singer clearly understands how English is structured so it sounded so awkward
@@Subukuru well, tbh, the new lyrics sounds a bit better, in my opinion. Sure, it still has that "engrish", but, at least, I can actually understand some parts.
@@elmemearana oh the lyrics aren’t new they’re from the reincarnation soundtrack. Only part that was changed for p3r was “your love came all over me” to “your love flows all over me”
Well, Meguro has a mechanical engineering degree and a hydrodynamics major, so I think he struggled with calculus aswell. But I hope you can find your way out the poverty
It's funny how that happens sometimes, stuff resonating strongly with people even though we didn't think much of it when we made it. Art can be very unpredictable!
I keep on forgetting lotus juice is fluent in english unlike most if not all other persona vocalist so when i actually hear him speak in english it feels so weird
@@vandam6057 Singing nd rapping are vastly diff tho, Lotus has a significant amount of syllables/lyrics he has to pronounce in English at a way faster volume as opposed to Lyn, Yumi nd Azumi (actually not sure if Azumi speaks English tbh but still)
Isn't that line supposed to not make sense on purpose? I always thought it was like talking about the confusion of battle since it's followed by "just like music sounds connect in rambles"
when i first heard the song, i knew that it defo wasnt written my lotus. I knew that he spoke good english and that his lyrics would make sence. but mass destuctions first verse just made no sence at all
The song "Unbreakable Tie feat. Lotus Juice” was produced for the PSP Remake of Persona 2: Innocent Sin which released in the year 2011 worldwide! The original Japan-only PS1 1999 release of Innocent Sin featured a different theme song which was before LJ's time collaborating with Atlus.
"it was english but it didnt make sense. You could tell that some Japanese person who was non-native wrote the lyrics for it" Yeah that makes so much sense, considering "When the Moon's Reaching Out Stars" exists. Read the chorus' lyrics and I, at the very least, cannot make sense of a thing it's trying to say. Hell, the title doesnt make much sense either 💔 (This is why Im glad its getting rewritten for P3RE in all honesty)

The absolute madlad created those legendary verses in 15 minutes.
To be fair he did say it was already written he probably just tweaked it so it wasn't a trash translation still legendary though
Apparently he also wrote one of the songs for JoJo Part 2 (Oh Please) in half an hour as well, so he’s done it more than once lmao
The guy who did the Knuckles raps in Sonic Adventure 2 wrote all of them in a couple hours as well and he had to do like 7 songs I think lol
He specifically said he only wrote the first verse.
I’m worried for some of yall 😅
I guess that by being a rapper, he must have naturally become good at creating verses on the fly.
2:40 "Im not interested in being famous, i just want to make good music"
-Lotus Juice
Sign of a great man.
He still THE ROYAL FLUSH CAUSE HES THE ACE still GOAT
Even more reason to respect the mad man.

That's how you know this guy was THE one.
He doesn't care for what's mainstream, he cares about what's good.

When he said “Meguro-san” I was like “what?! OMG what a plot twist!! The pianist was Shoji Meguro the whole time!”
I don't think so because he said the pianist guy is at his same age
The pianist was his friends who tell him to join meguro, I believe as he said in geek interview

4:30
LMAO even he thinks that the lyric doesn't make sense
Biggest plot twist on the universe
It didn't. But he made it "make sense". So lyrics in Mass Destruction actually make sense. A little bit....
after i listened to the song like 60 times, and playing about 30 hours of persona 3, i *sort of* made sense of the lyrics
He is refering to the one he was presented with. Not the one in the final song which he wrote in 15 mins hehe.
this explains why the FES lyrics make more sense
Lotus Juice was the guy that introduced me Japanese hip hop music when I first heard of Mass Destruction around 15 years ago
Speaking of japanese hip-hop, do you have any recommendations? 👀
Aside from Nujabes and Shing02, which I already know thanks to Samurai Champloo's OST
I love it when he speaks, such cool and smooth voice.
He's somehow exactly as i thought he was.
Absolutely gigachad made one of the best songs in the whole series while I was on a 15 minute work break 💀
lotus is a legend omfg

Meguro just woke up one day and be a legendary musician while I was on 3rd attempt in Calculus class in order to graduate into poverty.
"You meant OUT of poverty?"
"No"
😂😢
stay strong king. you can escape out of it
Well, Meguro has a mechanical engineering degree and a hydrodynamics major, so I think he struggled with calculus aswell. But I hope you can find your way out the poverty
