Tropes related to Camellia and his songs:
- Concept Album: U.U.F.O. is a double album themed around Urban Legends, conspiracy theories, and the paranormal in general. The track titles are filled with references to the likes of Numbers Stations, Polybius, Area 51, and The Bermuda Triangle.
- Cultural Translation: The title of "Bassline Yatteru? Lol" is a pun on "bassline" and the Japanese social-media/instant-messaging service LINE. While LINE is very popular in its native Japan, it doesn't have the same pop culture permeance in the rest of the worldnote , so the title is officially translated into English as "Can I friend you on Bassbook? Lol".
- Final Boss: His song "Bangin' Burst" was first unveiled at the final round of the Sound Voltex championships at KAC 2013. At the time, it was considered one of the two hardest songs in the game, alongside For UltraPlayers which also debuted at that event.
- "Ghost" is widely considered to be the hardest song in Beat Saber.
- “MAD RAT DIE” in ‘’Mad Rat Dead’’ is the track used for the final boss stage and steps up in its charting variety.
- Gender-Blender Name: In spite of the name, Camellia is actually a man.
- Genre Roulette: Camellia doesn't like being restricted by genres, so he often mixes genres within a single song, if he doesn't make up new ones.
- Memetic Mutation: For whatever reason, Camellia since 2019 has had a fascination with Western internet memes, and made several remixes of meme songs like Crab Rave or Astronomia (the coffin dance song), in addition to throwing in sampled beats or hooks from other meme songs in his live sets.
- Uncommon Time: The song "Konran Shoujo Soflan-chan!!" (混乱少女♥そふらんちゃん!!), as well as its title referring to sudden big BPM changes, skips between every uncommon time signature you can think of.
