Shin Megami Tensei V OST
Ryota Kozuka and Toshiki Konishi composed Shin Megami Tensei V. Following their work on Shin Megami Tensei IV, Kozuka and Konishi returned as composers for the fifth version of the mainline SMT series. They collaborated on the soundtrack for various Atlus games, including the Devil Survivor titles and the Persona Dancing games.
The “Ephemeral” tune on disc 1 kicks off the SMTV OST. The first disc largely comprises music from the game’s early stages, such as the “Daily Life” and “Jouin High School” tunes, while the latter discs have more dramatic fight themes.
The original music for Shin Megami Tensei V will be released in March 2022.

About Shin Megami Tensei V
When our protagonist’s path home is blocked by a gruesome murder scene in modern-day Tokyo, an unforeseen detour leaves him buried and unconscious. He wakes in a new Tokyo, a wasteland destroyed by the catastrophe now known as Da’at… but before the bloodthirsty demons can take his life, a rescuer appears, and the two join forces to become a tremendous entity neither human nor demon: a Nahobino. The protagonist, armed with unexpected power, travels through Da’at, an intriguing region populated by mythological deities and demonic rulers who are always at odds for existence. In search of answers, the protagonist must build his own path in a war between light and darkness to determine the world’s destiny.
Key Features:
