Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei I & II Composer Launches Kickstarter for Rearrangement Album

The composer of the classic Atlus JRPGs Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei from 1987 and Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II from 1990, Tsukasa Masuko, has recently launched a Kickstarter for a rearrangement album of Famicom Megami Tensei songs.

These arrangements would specifically be from the Famicom versions of Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei and Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II and feature lyrics. This effort is also stated to fulfill a promise for a deceased friend of Masuko’s.

Masuko went on to say that conceptualization for the arrangements has been completed, and alongside CD production, the following will need financial support:

• English lyrics ([He does not] have the ability to write English lyrics)
• Re-arrangement of the song as a song to be sung (by a third-party arranger)
• Recording (costs for singer, performer, and recording studio)
• Track down
• Mastering

The following songs from Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei have been confirmed:

• DAEDALUS～ダイダロス
• Battlefield～戦場
• Anfini～アンフィニ宮殿
• Recollections～回想

The following songs from Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II have been confirmed:

• Ex-convict～前科者
• Death Match～死闘
• Devil Speak～導き
• Hallucination～魔界幻想
• Omega～オメガ
• Epilogue～神々の黄昏
• Dawn Of The Human Being～エンディング

Further, Masuko confirmed that copyright is not a concern as he has already conversed with the companies involved. A general public release of this album is planned, too.

Currently, the project has received $30,574 from 623 backers over its $10,004 goal.
