Mami Kawada has performed plenty of AniSongs in her career, so much so that she has been considered an AniSong icon already, performing OP and ED songs for anime like Shakugan no Shana, A Certain Magical Index, To Love-Ru Darkness, Please Teacher and Please Twins, and many more. As she is now announcing her retirement, we would like to wish Mami Kawada all the best, and thank you for the great songs!
