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.

川田まみ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are my ideal. You are me.
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
これ以上遠くまで飛べない鳥がいた
傷もない立派な羽で
【コノ場所モ悪クナイ
アノ空ハ高クナイ
コノ場所モ良クハナイ】
体で感じる速度を恐れてる
誰にでもチャンスは持てる...
その先へ行けない
【本当ハ飛ビ立テナイ
本当ハ飛ビ立チタイ】
今叶えたい願いの向こうで輝く
君がいる
瞳に映す
「未来に立って、いつも強くて」
そんな君が僕さ
君はまだ眩しいけど
同じ気持ちでこの手伸ばして
いつか掴む現実の僕が 君になるよ
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
まだまだ純粋で無垢な夢だった
磁石みたいに欲しいもの
全て引き寄せてた
【コレダケハ譲レナイ
コレモマタ譲レナイ】
瓦礫に埋もれたって孤独に生きてる
君がいた
瞳が望む
「今までずっと...
これからもっと!」明日の君は僕さ
脱ぎ捨ててその殻ごと
裸になって身軽になって
また探そうよ
光る原石に僕がなるよ
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
足元に転がった小石を蹴り飛ばした
飛んでゆけ、この想い
瞳に揺れる
理想の僕と昨日の僕が
いつもすれ違いで
あと少し届かないよ
君ならきっと、
苦しくたって笑い飛ばして...
瞳に映す
「未来に立って、いつも強くて」
そんな君が僕さ
君はまだ眩しいけど
同じ気持ちでこの手伸ばして
いつか掴む現実の僕が
君になるよ 君になるよ ...
The song "See visionS" by 川田まみ (Mami Kawada) is about the pursuit of a person, which is the ideal one and the one who represents oneself. The lyrics indicate a desire to be with this person and the effort to reach them, stating that the person is the one that shines brighter than anyone else does. The "I'm always running after you" phrase reinforces that the singer is willing to go the extra mile and follow this person no matter where they go. The lyrics also indicate that this is still a dream for the singer, and they strive to make it a reality. They want to become better and stronger, and they are willing to break free from their shell and become a better version of themselves to be with this person.
The song talks about the journey to reach the ideal love and how the singer is not afraid to jump forward into the unknown to reach it. The two main themes are about one's personal growth through fear and about the power of traveling together with someone. It is a song about the journey towards love and learning to be brave and take a leap of faith. The lyrics encourage people to chase their dreams, even if they are afraid they cannot succeed. Ultimately, the song is about self-growth and the power of having a special person to share it with.

Take off the shell, become naked and light, let's search again. I will become a shining gemstone.

Kicking the pebble that rolled to its feet, it flew with this feeling.

The ideal me in my eyes and the me from yesterday always pass by each other, and they're just slightly out of reach. But with you, I'm sure you'll laugh and overcome any hardship.
瞳に映す「未来に立って、いつも強くて」そんな君が僕さ君はまだ眩しいけど同じ気持ちでこの手伸ばしていつか掴む現実の僕が君になるよ 君になるよ ...
In my eyes, you reflect 'Standing in the future, always strong.' That's who you are to me. You are still dazzling, but with the same feeling, I reach out my hand and one day, the reality that I grasp will become you. You will become you...
