"If she cries, the whole world dies."
This is the story of a young girl named Meg,
who ends up lost in the Underworld, and a
monster named Roy, who'll have to keep
her safe, and help her find her way home.

Here, you can enjoy a taste of the game's
memorable soundtrack, composed by
Reo Uratani, and get a peek behind
the curtain as to how it was made.

I've always loved

the night sky.

But there's one star

that shines brighter

than all the others...

And every time I gaze

up at it, I get this funny

feeling in my chest.

Salvage Yard

"Where am I…?"

Junk used : stones / metal rods / deck brush / sneakers and wooden planks, etc.

One of the game's most iconic tracks, meant to convey the true depths of the Underworld. Dark, foreboding phrases from the piano and cello are syncopated by the rhythm of metal and stone being beaten together to create a sense of tension and contrast.

Hey, get this! I heard the strings for this game's soundtrack were recorded in a studio in Boston!

???

"Th-Thtay away!
Thith belongth to me!!"

Junk used : pot lids / deck brush on tatami mats / metal sticks / gravel / broom / oil drum / a “safety first” sign, etc.

All of this game's battle themes revolve around junk-based percussion.
Here, the kick-drum sound is made by hitting a deck brush on a tatami mat, and pot lids take the place of your usual snares. You can also here what sounds like a triangle chime in here—but make no mistake. All you're hearing are plain old metal bars.

Granny thaid thith one'th a little "jazzy"... I dunno what that'th thuppothed to mean, though.

Monster Village

"I hereby call this monthly
council meeting to order!!"

Junk used : tatami mat / gauntlets / granola, etc.

A track meant to convey the atmosphere of a long-winded meeting between four council members who just can't reach a consensus.
You might be forgiven for thinking those are jazz-style drum brushes you're hearing, but in fact, it's just an ordinary broom.

It seems there's an easter egg hidden in the album's Japanese track listing... But you'll have to convert the song titles into Hiragana to find it! Oho!

Roy's House

"Hey, kid. You're not some 'Harbinger of Ruin' or whatever, are you?"

Junk used : tableware / coasters / granola, etc.

Before Meg showed up, Roy's house was little more than a desolate cave, but now it's finally starting to feel like a home. That was the main idea I wanted to convey with this track; I used forks, teacups, and glasses to create a lively rhythm for a lived-in space.

What's that? Too much piano in the soundtrack for ya? Well, according to the composer, it was a CHOICE to limit the game's intstrumentation! Helps make the whole tracklist feel cohesive, y'know what I mean?

Flower Field

"People always talkin' about hearing ghosts out here... Or how it messes with your head and stuff..."

A song that plays during some of the game's most iconic scenes.
There are actually two different variations of it in the game itself.
Did you notice?

Hey, guess what! Almost every song in Meg’s Monster is based on a single melody! Isn't that neat?

Main Concept

To recapture
the true essence
of video game music
in a way modern games
just don't

Pure x Polluted

  • Pure

    A Young Girl

    junk

    trash cans Pure as a Young Girl's Heart

    When arranging the soundtrack's instrumentation, I decided to only use instruments that create clear, gentle tones like pianos and violins. I deliberately chose not to use anything harsh or distorted, like electric guitars or synths.

  • Polluted

    Underworld

    junk

    trash cans The Lawless Underworld

    In many ways, the Underworld is like one massive junkyard.As such, I made all of the game's rhythms using garbage cans, pot lids, and other bits of discarded human debris, rather than traditional percussion instruments. I called this process "Garakuta Recording."

Message from the Composer

With Meg’s Monster, my biggest aim was to recapture the magic and excitement I remember feeling when playing through the classic games of my youth, and try to distill that sensation into music.

In recent years, there’s been a distinct lack of game music that truly sticks in one’s ear, like those iconic soundtracks of old.

Ambitious though it might seem, this soundtrack represents my attempt to buck this trend, and make a return to what made classic game music so memorable in the first place.

I hope I’ve managed to capture that feeling at least a little bit, and that these songs will resonate with game music fans the world over.

After a long run of composing music for the Monster Hunter series for Capcom Co., Ltd., Reo Uratani went independent and founded his own company, REI MUSIC, in 2019.
With his experience as a sound director for the Monster Hunter series, he specializes not only in composition, but in atmospheric sound design and production as well—conceptualizing every aspect of how a game’s world should sound.
