Her work has not only redefined how anime soundtracks resonate with audiences but has also encouraged a broader acceptance of emotionally rich narratives within popular music, allowing listeners to connect deeply with both character arcs and their own experiences. Iijima's approach is marked by a seamless blend of traditional songwriting with modern electronic influences, creating soundscapes that feel both nostalgic and innovative. This combination invites listeners into a world where each song serves as a gateway to vivid imagery and emotional landscapes, reflecting her commitment to crafting cohesive artistic visions rather than merely producing standalone tracks.

Iijima tends to weave intricate stories that evoke a sense of vulnerability, drawing on personal reflections that resonate universally while maintaining an impressionistic quality that leaves room for interpretation.
