14	!! Tropes related to Camellia and his songs:
15
16	* ConceptAlbum: ''U.U.F.O.'' is a double album themed around UrbanLegends, conspiracy theories, and the paranormal in general. The track titles are filled with references to the likes of NumbersStations, ''Myth/{{Polybius}}'', Area51, and TheBermudaTriangle.
17	* CulturalTranslation: The title of "Bassline Yatteru? Lol" is a [[PunnyTitle 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 world[[note]]although it is available globally in many other languages in addition to Japanese[[/note]], so the title is officially translated into English as "Can I friend you on [[Website/{{Facebook}} Bassbook]]? Lol".
18	* FinalBoss: 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 [[Music/CosMo For UltraPlayers]] which also debuted at that event.
19	** "Ghost" is widely considered to be the hardest song in ''VideoGame/BeatSaber''.
20	** “MAD RAT DIE” in ‘’VideoGame/MadRatDead’’ is the track used for the final boss stage and steps up in its charting variety.
21	* GenderBlenderName: In spite of the name, Camellia is actually a man.
22	* GenreRoulette: 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.
23	* MemeticMutation: [[invoked]] For whatever reason, Camellia since 2019 has had a fascination with Western internet memes, and made several remixes of meme songs like [[{{Music/Noisestorm}} 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.
