Signature songs produced by Seiji Kameda: “Shofuku” masterpieces (11–20)
I want to try living true to myself.Little Glee Monster
Little Glee Monster has a lot of happy songs that can make you feel joyful just by listening.
One of those is “Watashi Rashiku Ikite Mitai” (“I Want to Try Living as Myself”).
It’s a pop song themed around being true to yourself.
The music video has captivating elements beyond the music—like the dancing and hairstyles—so I highly recommend watching it with the PV.
Seiji Kameda is also capable of crafting a vibe that perfectly suits young female singers.
The way he builds songs to fit the artist he’s producing for is like a chameleon changing its colors to match the time, place, and occasion.
COLORSGLAY
A song written and composed by vocalist TERU, chosen as the theme for the film “Final Fantasy XIV: Dad of Light,” starring Kentaro Sakaguchi.
This medium-tempo ballad, brimming with GLAY’s signature warmth, also features Seiji Kameda.
The lyrics, crafted to match the film’s portrayal of a father–child relationship, are deeply moving.
GLAY has delivered many heart-stirring ballads in the past, but with Seiji Kameda’s touch, this one has become an even more expansive and grand ballad.
NIPPONShiina Ringo
This is a song by Shiina Ringo, specially written in 2014 as NHK’s theme for the FIFA World Cup.
Its dazzling, glamorous sound practically lets you see the stadium cheers and the soaring voltage of excitement.
It’s truly the perfect track for a global celebration! You can clearly hear how excellent the arrangement is, with touches like the sound of the whistle.
Song of Springsupittsu
This is a song released by Spitz in 2005.
With a spring-like, refreshing, and fast-paced pop sound, it sings of new beginnings, new love, and hope.
The choice of words that evoke winter and the lyrical depth that seems to break away from it are quintessential Masamune Kusano, and it’s a track you’ll want to pay attention to for its bright yet straight-ahead arrangement as well.
Invisible ManToukyou Jihen
It’s the legendary band led by Ringo Sheena.
They’ve already disbanded, but each member is thriving in their own path.
Tokyo Jihen went through one lineup change, so people distinguish between the first and second phases.
Speaking personally, when performing this song, I highly recommend the Phase 1 version (the dynamite ver).
DestinyElefanto Kashimashi
This is a song released in 2014 by the rock band Elephant Kashimashi.
It adds strings to their signature rock sound, creating a gentle yet hope-filled atmosphere.
The way it surges and explodes in the final chorus is brilliant, but above all, Hiromi Miyamoto’s vocals are incredibly cool.
It’s a masterpiece that lets you feel two great talents at work!

Flowers are blooming.Ishikawa Sayuri
Seiji Kameda has also produced songs for Sayuri Ishikawa, a grand dame of enka.
This particular track was written and composed by Yoshiki Mizuno of Ikimonogakari.
While the piano and strings arrangement has the gentle feel of a kayōkyoku-style tune, the strength of the melody really stands out.
Ishikawa’s vocals have an expected commanding presence, and I can feel Kameda’s prowess in how he harnesses that voice within a pop framework.
