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 ↴
潤んだ瞳 映し出してる
いつも歩くこの道 変わらぬ町並み
退屈な日々なら 今走り出そう
この青く高い空広い世界
この世のすべてのモノ
自分の手で動かせると信じてるの
行こう!
描いていた夢に向かって
握る手 伝わるぬくもり感じて
たどり着く場所は
きっと誰にも味わえない未来だから
今、駆け出す まだ見ぬ明日へと
あてのない旅止められない時
戻れなくて
乗り込んだ船 すべてゆだねた
どこまでも続く軌道(みち)
広がる宇宙(うみ)
僕らの果て無き希望
叶うはずと 高鳴る胸感じてるの
飛ぼう!
大空に乗る鳥のように 両手広げて
時にはたたんだ翼を休めて
空が晴れる頃
さわやかな風柔らかな陽
包み込まれ
今、飛び立つ また来る明日へと
熱い思いが膨らむ
今しか出来ない 後戻りはしない!
行こう!
幼きあの日 抱いた夢空に描いた
青空 今も変わらずに見つめて
たどり着く場所は
きっと誰にも味わえない未来だから
今、駆け出す また来る明日へと
輝く瞳(め)の中に この瞬間 ほら
映し出して ずっと... ほら...

Starship Operators opening song. I don't remember if the anime storyline was good but Mami's song made me fall in love with it and looking forward to watch then listen to Radiance.
