"Sounds like persona" idk man, Persona kinda sounds like Nocturne.
Yeah u're right.persona kinda sounds like nocturne
My friend actually said SMT is the spin off for personas💀

@@Tuxum I did. Now only gained 3 exp.not worth it
*makes banger music*
"Yeah fuck it this will just be in the sound test"
To be fair, it doesn't match the setting of the game.
It probably would have served a role in the game if it was actually added
@@NecroticHelios you do get the occasional break tho

@@tylerlackey1175 You sound way more upset than him though lol
I remember someone else said it before the original video was taken down: keep in mind that this was JUST A SOUND TEST, Jesus Christ, Meguro.
Gotta test them hard
Flexing on the PS2 sound chip like the badass he is
@@Diego35HD Beyond flexing. He's bullying it.
Sorry but he's downright raping it
Spent all of that time making amazing tracks only for all of them to be compressed to shit to fit on 1 disc.
Dude was jamming in his recording studio and said "nah, this is just a test."
Maybe this track was flagged as innapropriate for being too damn sexy
VERY Excited Doggo flagged inappropriate for an smt game?
421st vote
funny to think how this was never meant to be heard by anyone outside of the dev team
Dev listens to banger music
MAXIMUM POWER!!!
Makes you think on how many awesome tunes made by Meguro the Atlus dev team listened and didn't have even released
Should be illegal not to release a banger like this
Too powerful to be contained
when the demi fiend goes through midterm
How about persona 6 is alternate reality where naoki was protagonis and enjoy life like all other persona protagonis
@@fluxthemagician7928 Persona 6 is basically the Neutral Nocturne Ending then? Not gonna lie, that would be pretty funny.
@@Neverbloom The Freedom ending? The one with Ms. Takao? Would be pretty sick, except he wouldn't be any normal kid since he still has his powers in that ending if I recall correctly.
@@professionalfangster1510 I think he's concious of everything that happened in the vortex world but doesn't have his powers.
I could be wrong though.
@@Neverbloom he was warned by lucifer but iirc no proof he kept it to himself but assuming from smt4 he probably kept it because he stands up to himself
Makes me think about Demi-fiend sitting in the sand somewhere and watching the angels fly around
Christop The illusive Man really to me this is him looking up at the masive Monolith leading to Kagusichi with a look of resolve as he reflects on his journey opening the door and saying let's end this!
Stop it, you're making me want to play Nocturne again...
Christop The illusive Man Sorry it's just one of my favorite games of all time -_-
Feels like Demifiend's non-battle leitmotif, like a cutscene theme whenever he makes a significant action. Unseen Vortex(alpha ver. Battle theme IIRC) would be his new battle theme as a symbol of his past in the vortex world.
You know there is official art of such a scene.
Meguro: S O U N D T E S T.
Dude's just casually composing a magnum opus as a sound test.
I love how this theme sounds like it's straight out of a Persona game that's actually in a mainline SMT world.
"You spent the day murdering hordes of demons with Pixie...."
"...."
"You feel your relationship with Pixie will get stronger soon"
Pixie best girl
No this sounds like DDS.
@@doublebassman123 nope, this sounds stuff shoji meguro would make.
the rhodes, spicy bass fill, awesome guitar riffs. that's shoji aight
but yeah he did music for DDS too, so you're half right i guess
rofl why are you mad that people are drawing similarities between different OSTs composed by the same person? jesus the smt elitists these days
It's too good, it's a shame it's not in the game.
This song sounds great outside of the game but honestly it would not have fit the game at all, this is way too upbeat for the game's dark atmosphere
It's pretty much like Persona 1 PSP's OST where it's great Jpop outside of the game but in the game itself, not fitting at all
But maybe that's just me lol
@@DragonMarkting I totally agree with you. This song would fit in much better in P5. I feel like Demi Fiend would at least have to tap his toes if he heard this song. That being said, this song is godlike and it would be really cool as a specific ending credit song or unlockable in an audio menu or something.
@@1993xavier
Agreed, P5 would definitely be more fitting of this
@@DragonMarkting oh hell no
@@DragonMarkting I agree and disagree. I feel that yes this song is a bit more chill and perhaps too calming to be in argueably the darkest, spine-chilling and grimest Megaten game but to be fair Nocturne has a couple goofy sounding tracks like when you first meet those ghost girls in the kalpas or the pyro jack that's ticked off that Thor let you off the hook. I personally love this track but I can see where you're coming from. And the fact that this was going to be the sound test of all things makes Meguro probably one of my favorite music composers.
y'all saying it sounds like persona, and i only hear Raidou on this track smh
"Raidou explains the circumstances of the investigation to-
some of the instruments I can only ever remember being used in persona 3, but the song as a whole sounds like a raidou song thats a little more excited
To be fair raidou 2 and p4''s soundtracks sound pretty similar imo
@@merah5131 well, yeah at the time of the making of raidou persona 4 was out in Japan and Shoji probably got some ideias from there.
Althought i do find the tone of the raidou series to be a bit more jazzy than the latter, hence my comment
@@gurafegurafe3976 makes sense since persona 4 released in july 2008 while raidou vs KA released october 2008,
thats just 3 months apart
those 2 dislike are from Forneus and Decarabia
Good news 1 dislike
@@borissurkan3035 Good. The Demi-Fiend seems to be halfway done with his job.
“Where’s that Forneus!?”
Please add this to the HD remastered ....
Yes and no, released as a seperately ost bundle ...
lol, if only the switch port was actually a remaster and not a cash grab port.
Imagine bitching about a 20 year old popular game being remade
@@FRANKxxFRANKxxFRANK that’s just it. They touched it up in order to make it run on other hardware (or you can tell us that it’s actually the PS2 game running on a PCSX2 wrapper), meaning that hey would have to get into the nitty gritty of the files and then WILLFULLY not fix a flawed part of the original game.
@@AdamOwenBrowning it isn't a cash grab
This is amazing. It sounds like a full blown fusion arrangement of the Normal Town Battle theme.
Glad im not the only one thinking that
An unreleased track has no right to be this good.
correction : a track as good as this has no right to be unreleased
@@ToxinArt REAL
You can't treat "Broken" like this
@@linkach8898 from shadow?
It's inappropriate content because that guitar is DIRTY.
Imo this song really fits the game for what it's used for which is the sound test menu. This music isn't in game it's outside of it and it makes it obvious by how groovy and jazzy it is giving you reminder to take a break and realize you can relax for a bit now before you jump back into the dense and rich atmosphere of nocturne.
I feel for this OST like I am walking across the Votrex world all alone, i am empty.
Is a relaxing music, but is kinda sad, not properly sad, but empty viewing.
Is a journey with just my troughs and a shine annoying light.
Totally felt that 🤙
@@TakeoKurosawa Hi, stranger of the internet.
This comment was written in a particular time in my life, which has cause me painful memories for this OST...A little still hurting my heart.
Would you like to know more about it?
@@Xx-Dani_Weird_pixie-xX yeah sure bro let's hear it
Atlus: Ok Shoji, we just need to make sure the recording studio is set up right. Can you just plug your guitar in and jam for 10 seconds?
Shoji Meguro: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh, that is SMOOTH. Thank you for uploading this lost gem.
Clive wtf
"sound test" yeah sure just a sound test...
a test to see what the best sound shoji meguro could make
Megaten-tubers go-to background music
Can you blame 'em?
heeello fellow megatennists
Such a mellow song with some decent energy and variation. I wonder what part of the game they would have used it for. Maybe as an overworld theme before Japan got turned into the vortex world.
Found my next song for my videos!
Well, since it's called "Sound Test", it would've probably been for a scrapped sound test feature.
Probably Its just something Meguro improvised for testing and since it didn't fit with nocturne they removed it.
SMT is so criminally underapreciated in every aspect, which is strange, because the franchise really EXCELS in every aspect.
I know right It literally invented the concept of monster collecting JRPGs which Pokemon is
@@loganlawver4180 Exactly lol, it's funny how much I'm reminded of pokemon but at the same time not really when playing nocturne hd. Smt and Yu-gi-oh is what parents thought Pokemon was back in the day.
SMT really is a Strange Journey
Yeah but since you can't date underage girls like in that one spinoff, mainstream fans won't play it.
@jack ebola No.
this song feels strangely nostalgic
Have you played Persona? Your answer might explain why.
@@ryanhernandez8324 i have but i don't think my familiarity with meguro's work is inherently the reason.
@@elijahbradley704 Ah, how strange! My father said, just a couple hours ago, that he's heard this song or "something like it." There is absolutely no way that he's heard this exact track, so I wonder what it is about Meguro's work that makes it so familiar. Hmmm... What a genius, he is.
@@ryanhernandez8324 it's the chord progressions, well, japanese musics itself are heavily inspired by western style jazz, especially american.
You can find lots of these kind of progressions in like games and animes, hell even if you try to listen to old japanese musics from the late 80's they have that "feel" you are talking about.
For me it's the melody that hits me, idk what that is but it's very familliar. Meguro made this so well!
And this is JUST a sound test.
This is really cool, but sounds kinda too..."chill" for nocturne. Like maybe this could go as an ending song to one of the reason endings.
Yeah it sounds more like a persona song to me, meguros arrangements in games like Nocturne and DDS, even the calmer ones still dont sound this upbeat. Only his persona songs do.
i mean its kinda usable when youre exploring the desert
@@wonder6835 I mean I recognize some leitmotifs from other Nocturne songs. Plus this is just Meguro's normal style.
Rescuro true, I’m amazed as a composer myself by how different the soundtracks sound between persona and mainline SMT.
@@bassoonplatoon3146 Yeah Meguro's done a ton of different styles. You should check out Strange Journey's soundtrack. I was surprised when I found out he did it considering it's also one of my favorite game OSTs
Got demi fiend with shades on playing guitar, Pisaca on keyboard, and Oni on drums. Lucifer on bass...
Great music to listen to while i lie in my dark room, staring blankly at the ceiling.
This track is perfect to listen while studying
Damn, this slapped harder than the times I got bodied by Mot
Bro how is this not in the game? I've been listening to it for hours. I hope they can somehow fit it into the remaster, but that may be a pipe dream.
Praying modern Meguro remasters this track
I've been playing the remaster and nope not a single fuckin time
@@loganlawver4180 sadly I can confirm, playing the true demon ending but I don't see this as a thema that would play somewhere based on your ending soooo...sadly just a dream. Wait for the modding community though. I hope they'll figure something out
I come back to this song whenever I remember it every few months. Still a bop
I can see why this wasn't added in...if it was I think i'd be too addicted to listening to this instead of anything else xD
Megaten RUclipsrs on their way to use this track as background music in their videos (they have good taste)
best nintendo direct ever!
For real.
This helps clear my mind whenever I’m sad or overthinking 🙇🏻♂️
"For whatever reason, the original I uploaded was taken down for "Inappropriate Content" and I can't dispute the claim."
That's fair. It's sex for the ears.
In contrary to the others, I can picture this being a theme for like a shop, or a market for Demons or something. Like a 7/11 for demons, where this song plays as Lucifer/Demi Fiend shops for medicinal items and all that.
I swear this sounds like a city theme in p5 strikers, weird that they didn’t add it to nocturne
Could've told me this was crossover p2 and I'd believe it.
hell yeah this is totally Sapporo
@@naccols I'm glad i wasn't the only one
If everyone would get their own personal theme for life, I would wish for this to be mine, it's so sublime.
Amazing choice, I would do the same.
This could have been a staff roll song for the freedom ending
Meguro’s guitar playing reminds me of Santana and John Frusciante. The funky, chill vibe is superb ❤
Funky Monks!
drops a bomb ass track for a sound test
refuses to elaborate

Naoki talks with Joker about his terrible friends.
Naoki Confidant and I'm all here for it
In order to get rank 10, he has to defeat demifiend
i got lost in a trance to this

I had a car crash listening to this song at exactly 1:00
What are the odds!
stay safe
@@evakuator8118 thanks
Nothing major happened but it was a thrill!
goddamn bro what?
@@WAR220 Straight up? Were you in your room or something when it happened?
@@professionalfangster1510 I was in the car
And the moment the song hit 1:00 we crashed
Now, *HERE* we have the ultimate video in case anyone wants to test their new headphones. B)
The beginning sounds like heaven and alone at once
WHY IS THIS SO PERFECT MEGURO???? IT´S JUST A SOUND TEST CHILL MAN
Shoji is built different
what a jammin' theme, thanks man.
That's a really, really weird claim. Thanks for putting it back up, though.
yeah youtube is demonetizing everything
Holy shit this sounds like one of the overworld themes in Strikers
holy fucking shit it does
The third overworld
Nocturne is 2003 guys (;
This is definitely my favorite SMT III track, I can’t believe they missed it in the actual game
Reminds me a lot of the music-style of the digital devil saga games
This track is the strangest flex. wth
Kinda sounds like something from Persona 4 or Persona 5
xX_Weeb_Xx Yeah I know
I think there's a theory/rumor that the music was going to be used for a Persona 3 teaser.
@xX_Weeb_Xx A shin megami tensei weeb would yell at you for saying that😂😂😂
@@macrooni1794 I am said WEEB REEE
RickAshayz™ same composer that’s why.
Listening to 1.25x speed changes the whole outlook of the song. It goes from a slow soul jam to a boppin' guitar rift.
holy shit youre right
1.15x speed sounds better if you are on desktop
@@infentdegree2117 ^^^
Not to bad on 0.75 either
Holy fuck
"it sounds like persona" well no shit its the same composer :D and hes amazing
Wonder if this is just a random jam session Shoji Meguro had with his crew.
Got a mod that makes this my level up theme, i love it.
Same
This actually sounds like a interesting mix between DDS and Persona for me... Like, P3 + DDS = this
DDS + Raidou games = this
This track screams DDS.
I sleep to this
this song is soo good to be a test
I was expecting the text to speech to pop up at some point, but luckily it didn't
Sounds like Shoji
コード進行、ベースライン、、
気持ちいいい。
my brain still tryna process to this day that thi banger was only a sound test and not in the game
I swear this sounds like something from SMT: IMAGINE
which smt imagine ost btw? im trying to find more music like this
@@dannyalian The only one that I can find on YT is Nakano theme. Some of the big city areas have the same vibe as this but I can't find the music for them on YT so you gotta play the game to find them
Yeah, it kinda sounds like imagine
Thank you meti
I know
Now I understand the line "Tokyo died, and I was given life"
This song gave him life
sounds like some lobby music
it's definitely a little too funky and lively for nocturne, I think, but it could definitely be used elsewhere
maybe it could've been used in a shopping mall, though
thanks mate
This song is just too good to be just a sound test
Why is this so slick!?!?!?
Shoji Meguro making the best music to grace gaming just to use it as a sound test: 🧍♂️🎹🔥
how is this a sound test track
meguro is wild
Debieron incluir esta música en Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster
creo que está con los bonus tracks
Demi-Fiend and his demons shuffling throughout the Vortex World
this sounds like a more chill version of town battle theme
I mean, it don't fit the aesthetic the other tracks of the game is going for, but damn this is a good music.
This is pure banger
Man they could have thrown this music in areas that only had ambient music..
Why does meguro always wanna just make fucking class music that barely anyone will see?
this reminds me of the time i OWNED people in minecraft galaxy parkour. *reminicses in korean*( the owner was Korean)
GREAT SONG
i think this theme would fit perfectly to the Freedom Ending. A real shame its not in the game
This is my new ringtone now idc
Me too
Is cool
When persona meets Digital devil saga.
Wonder if theyd add this track to the new remaster or at least to the soundtrack CD if it comes with one
People saying this sounds like Persona music but nah i feel like this has more 'swagger' than any tracks from the Persona series.
All you guys saying it sounds like Persona are right. This intro sounds exactly like the intro to Heaven from P4.
Fax
The really interesting part is that this was composed in what, 2002? Shoji went back 6 years and took inspiration from nocturne and that’s really cool.
is this music claimed? this is such a good music, if they ain't using it, imma use it
sounds like the 2000s in here.
Heaven - Persona 4 (BETA)
why is this banger a sound test
persona 4 Signs Of Love
Around 20% of Meguro music i heard so far sounds somewhat similar
