Source-derived summary

Masaya Oya (Japanese: 大箭将也, Hepburn: Ōya Masaya; born September 28, 1992), known professionally as Camellia (Japanese: かめりあ, Hepburn: Kameria), is a Japanese electronic musician and record producer. He is best known for his work in the rhythm game scene and has been a composer for games such as Sound Voltex, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! and Beatmania IIDX. Outside rhythm games, he has worked with the record label Pony Canyon and is a member of the label EXITTUNES Dance Production or EDP, an imprint of Exit Tunes. He also publishes his discography on his doujin circle, KamelCamellia.

Oya began his career with a Vocaloid sound. After leaving the scene in 2013, he primarily composed fast-paced electronic dance music (EDM) tracks, often reaching or exceeding 200 beats per minute (BPM). His music encompasses a variety of electronic styles, including J-core, dubstep, denpa, drum and bass, hardcore, gabber, trap, speedcore, and doujin music. Rather than adhering to a single genre, he is noted for actively experimenting with diverse sounds across his works.

He often collaborates with and has released several albums alongside the singer Nanahira. He has also produced remixes of the Undertale original soundtrack (OST) and collaborations with the game designer and composer Toby Fox.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “japanese record producer and DJ” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q40857248. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1992 and 2013.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
