As a member of I've Sound, she performed many songs which were included as theme songs of TV anime series and videogames. Mami was usually paired up with co-I've member Kotoko when making soundtracks for anime. Examples of these are Onegai Teacher, Onegai Twins, Starship Operators, Shakugan no Shana, Baldr Force EXE Resolution OVA, and Hayate no Gotoku wherein Kotoko will perform the opening theme while Mami will perform the ending theme or vice versa. In 2002, she and Shimamiya grouped themselves as the band "Healing Leaf" and performed some theme songs for visual novel games, but only one song was featured in the I've Girls Compilation, "Ame ni Utau Ballad" (雨に歌う譚詩曲).
Her debut single, "Radiance", released on February 23, 2005, was used as an opening theme for the anime Starship Operators. Her most successful single was "Joint," released on October 31, 2007, and used as the first opening theme for the sequel of the anime series Shakugan no Shana, Shakugan no Shana II. In autumn 2008, Mami Kawada also established her official website together with her official fan club "M.A.L.L.", which stands for "Mami Artist Lasting Live."
Her debut album, "SEED" was released on March 29, 2006 and reached #12 in the Oricon weekly charts, charting for five weeks selling over 25,000 units. Her second album, "SAVIA" was released on March 26, 2008. However, it didn't do well in the Oricon weekly charts (#15) but after less than six months, she had her second live tour for her second album. Her third album, "LINKAGE" was released on March 24, 2010 and ranked #26 in the Oricon weekly charts.
On January 24th, 2016, Kawada announced that she would be retiring from music. Her final concert was held on May 21st, 2016.
On February 3rd, 2018, it was revealed that Kawada had gotten married to I've composer/arranger Tomoyuki Nakazawa, and had given birth to a child during the two years since her retirement.
Prophecy
川田まみ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
現実味などない言葉
そこに宿る未来の形
微かに輝いた 瞳に
偶然みたいにすれ違う日々辿った
出会いが始まる 何かを惑わす起源
運命が笑っているの?聞こえる
交差する喜悦と痛み
表裏の強さを抱えた
今は解けない理由(わけ)を紐解いて
予(かね)た願いのその先へ羽ばたく
見たいような見たくないような
確信へと続く扉
そっと覗いた隣の景色
後戻りできない世界に
合わせた背中に
変えられぬ意思迷った
出会いが繋がる 全てに絡まる始終
幻想とリアルの狭間 凍える
連鎖する懸念と陰り
いつか星なぞる占(せん)に重なる
真実に心預けて
今は言えない
理由(わけ)に気がついて
予(かね)た願いのその先へ羽ばたく
明日になればわかるでしょ?
とがめる
憤りに影が潜む
筋を辿れば見えてくる光
終結が新たな兆し
運命が笑っているの?聞こえる
交差する喜悦と痛み
あの日告げられた声に掠める
表裏の強さを抱えた
今は解けない理由(わけ)を紐解いて
予(かね)た願いのその先へ羽ばたく
今は解けない ...
予(かね)た ...
The lyrics to 川田まみ's song Prophecy speak of a world where dreams and reality intertwine, and the future is uncertain but still glimmers with hope. The singer reflects on chance encounters and the origins of their confusion, questioning whether destiny is merely laughing at them. They describe the joy and pain that intersect in life, and how everything is connected by a string of fateful encounters. The chorus urges the listener to uncover the reasons and desires that drive them, and to spread their wings towards the future they hope to achieve.
The song seems to suggest that life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and that it is up to us to navigate them with courage and determination. It acknowledges the fear and uncertainty that come with facing the unknown, but also reminds us that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, waiting for us to reach it.
Overall, 川田まみ's Prophecy is a powerful anthem that speaks to the universal human experience of striving towards our dreams, even in the face of adversity.

We're intertwined in everything that's connected by encounters, and we hesitate with an unchanging will. We shiver in the gap between fantasy and reality, and the growing concern hangs over us. It's going to overlap with the horoscope that we once traced among the stars, entrusting our hearts to the truth. We realize the reasons we can't speak of now, and fly towards the future we wished for.

Will you understand it tomorrow? I blame myself. Shadows of anger lurk within me, but if I follow my instincts, I can see the light. The end is a new beginning, and fate is laughing. Joy and pain intersect, and the strength hidden within is echoed in a voice from that day. Untangle the reasons you can't understand now, and fly towards the future you wished for. You can't figure it out now... the wish you made...
