Musical style and influences

In an interview with the anime publication LisAni!, Amamiya described the production process of her single "Freesia", the title track of which was used as the ending theme to the Japanese airing of the animated television series Heaven Official's Blessing. She noted that, starting in 2017, she tended to release solo singles in odd-numbered years, and how "Freesia" fit that pattern as well. She noted that "Freesia" has an oriental atmosphere, with the first part having the image of a small room that opens up as a result of becoming rusty; the song's oriental atmosphere also influenced its music video. The appearance of the single's title on the cover, as well as the cover itself, were meant to be reminiscent of a retro 7-inch single, with her emphasizing this point by holding a vintage microphone. For the single's B-side "Jōnetsu no Te Amo", she aimed for the song to have a Latin flavor, with the song featuring a Spanish guitar among other influences. She noted that writing the song was a challenge as she did not play the guitar and she had to research various kinds of instruments. The single's third song "Emerald" was also noted to have an exotic introduction.

In an interview with Natalie, Amamiya detailed the creation of her EP "Dōkasen". She wanted to produce a work that channeled her love for J-Pop, along with following up her previous songs "Hibana" and "Viper", which were imagined as being written for recitals. She wanted to release a work were all the songs were written and composed by her, using the skills she learned while spending her free time during the pandemic. The lead track "Trigger" was inspired by her fondness for jazz music, and she wanted to include at least one jazz song in the EP. The song "Tokai Tōhikō (Neon Escape)" was written while imagining Akina Nakamori, one of her favorite singers, and was based on the idea of a woman from the country arriving in Tokyo and becoming tired of the city life. She wanted the song to sound like a typical Japanese pop song and include common words. The song "Hatsukōyō" was inspired by her love of enka, while the song "Maria ni Kanpai" was inspired by Linda Yamamoto and the Shōwa era; she had a particular fondness for "Maria ni Kanpai" despite not being the EP's lead track, so she decided to take the lyric "Dōkasen" from the song and use it as the EP's subtitle. The last song "Potsuri, Ai" focuses on a failed long-distance relationship and was partly based on the story of one of her staff members.
