She has performed theme songs for various eroge such as Love, Election and Chocolate and Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue. She has also written songs for other musicians. During the LisAni 2016 event, Kawada announced her retirement from singing activities following a final concert in May 2016.

Biography[edit]

Debut[edit]

Kawada's vocal talents were first discovered by Eiko Shimamiya, who was her teacher at a vocal school in Sapporo, Hokkaido.[3] She was introduced to I've Sound, a music production group which featured Shimamiya as a member. Kawada joined I've Sound in 2001, and in that year released her debut song titled "Kaze to Kimi o Daite" (風と君を抱いて, "Embrace You and the Wind"), which was used as the opening theme to the eroge Miss You.[4][5] The song was later compiled on I've Sound's fifth compilation album Out Flow in 2003.[6]

In 2002, she released her first song associated with an anime, "Sora no Mori de" (空の森で, "In the Forest of Sky"), the ending theme to the anime Please Teacher!. The song was released in a split single with singer Kotoko, who performed the series' opening theme "Shooting Star".[7] That same year, Kawada and Shimamiya performed a number of theme songs for visual novels as the unit Healing Leaf,[8] although only one of those songs, "Ame ni Utau Ballad" (雨に歌う譚詩曲, "A Ballad Sung in the Rain"), was featured in an I've Sound Compilation.[9] In mid-2003, she performed the ending theme to the anime Please Twins!, "Asu e no Namida" (明日への涙, "Tears for Tomorrow"), which was also released in a split single with Kotoko.[10]

2005–06: Seed[edit]

In 2005, Kawada signed a contract with Geneon Entertainment (now NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan) and released her first major single "Radiance", which was used as the opening theme to the anime Starship Operators.[11] Later that year, she released her second single "Hishoku no Sora", which was used as the opening theme to the anime series Shakugan no Shana.[12] It became her best-selling single and sold approximately 37,000 copies, peaking at number 11 at the Oricon weekly charts.[13][14]

In March 2006, Kawada and Kotoko released a split single for the OVA adaptation of the game Baldr Force, with Kawada performing the ending theme "Undelete" and Kotoko performing the opening theme "Face of Fact (Resolution ver.)".[15] Four weeks later, Kawada released her debut album Seed. The album reached number 12 in the Oricon weekly charts and charted for five weeks, selling more than 25,000 copies.[14][16] Later that year, Kawada held her first live tour, where she distributed a pamphlet CD containing the first instance of a song that she both performed and composed by herself, "Carpe Diem".[17]

Retirement[edit]

On January 24, 2016, during the anime concert LisAni, Kawada announced her retirement from the music industry after her final concert on May 21, 2016 at the Tokyo Dome City Hall.[62] Her song "Believe in the sky", which is used as the theme song to the 2016 smartphone game Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm: Eternal Sky, was released in an AoKana vocal album on May 1, 2016,[63] A final compilation album titled Mami Kawada Best "F" was released on November 22, 2016;[64] the limited edition includes three Blu-ray discs featuring her music videos, a video recording of her final concert, and a documentary on her career and final concert.[65][66] A video recording of her final concert was made available through streaming on D Anime Store's website.[66] She made an appearance at NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan's 25th anniversary concert on February 3, 2018,[67] where she announced her marriage to long-time producer Tomoyuki Nakazawa.[68] She also wrote the lyrics to the song "Gravitation", which was used as the opening theme to the anime series A Certain Magical Index III; the song was performed by Maon Kurosaki.[69] Although retired from professional singing, she remains active as a lyricist and occasional composer.

Musical style and influences[edit]

Kawada's musical style mainly fuses rock with trance.[24] When Kawada debuted in 2001, she originally felt that the music she earned in her career was pocket money. She also felt happy that she could be based in Sapporo where she could be close to her family and friends, as well as to I've Sound who she felt was like a second family to her. After Kotoko made her major debut in 2004, I've Sound management began discussing the possibility of Kawada making a major debut. At first, she was hesitant because she felt that she would be thrust into the spotlight, but eventually she accepted the idea. For the first ten years of her career, she always felt that she was a beginner, but this began to change when younger singers made their debuts and began to treat her as an older sister.[5]

In an interview with Famitsu, Kawada related her experience writing the lyrics for "Joint". Kawada said that she was challenged in writing lyrics for the song, since her previous single "Get My Way" was different from her previous singles. Kawada would read the source material of every anime before writing lyrics for its theme songs. She named the song "Joint" because of Shana II's theme of characters Shana and Yūji Sakai fighting together.[24][70] In response to comments that the expressions in her voice were very varied, Kawada stated that she simply sings with the music in the way that she most enjoys.[71]

Kawada's primary producer was I've producer Tomoyuki Nakazawa, who produced "Radiance" as well as her first three albums. Nakazawa also came up with each album's concept and title.[72] However, in 2010, Kawada began to cooperate more with other producers and also began working more in Tokyo. When producing Square the Circle, Nakazawa asked Kawada what sort of album and what sort of songs did she want. Kawada said that she wanted an album whose songs would be reminiscent of her visual image and stage persona, as opposed to her private self.[73]

In making the album Parablepsia, Kawada describes the concept of the album as "E.M.R.", which stands for "Electric. Mami Kawada. Rock". She considers "Borderland" to be most representative of her style, so she wanted to make an album which included songs which sounded similar to it. Originally, she only wanted a single song to convey the theme of the album, but for Parablepsia, several songs do. This includes the title song "Parablepsia", which she describes as a song about not losing yourself in a society which moves around in circles, "Fly Blind", which is a song about not always allowing yourself to be influenced by society, "Eager Eyes", which is the song in the album which has the closest style to "Borderland", "It's no big deal", which takes inspiration from a phrase that her father used to say to her, and "Dendritic Quartz", which is about flowers which constantly bloom and will never wither; "Dendritic Quartz" takes inspiration from a pendant she owns which has a pattern of trees.[74]

Discography[edit]

The discography of Mami Kawada consists of five studio albums, two compilation albums, two video albums, and sixteen singles.
