Yoshioka Yui (吉岡唯; known/stylized as YUI (ユイ)) (born March 26, 1987 in Fuku… Read Full Bio ↴Yoshioka Yui (吉岡唯; known/stylized as YUI (ユイ)) (born March 26, 1987 in Fukuoka, Japan), is a japanese singer-songwriter and actress. She sings and plays acoustic guitar, and writes her own songs, and apart from playing acoustic guitar, she also likes watching movies, reading books, and playing badminton. Her third single "LIFE" was the fifth ending theme for BLEACH, a popular Japanese anime series, which has brought her some international fame.
YUI began writing poems in ninth grade. At the age of 16, by recommendation of a friend, she began studying song, songwriting, and guitar at a private music school in her native Fukuoka. Aspiring to become professional, she carried her guitar around and sang at local places such as the seashore of Shingu and in the middle of the rice fields of Kaminofu.
In March 2003, at an audition hosted by Sony Music Japan, all judges evaluated her with the highest score, which caused a fierce scramble among labels. At this audition, she sang three songs - her first song "Why me", which was later coupled with her debut single, as well as "It's happy line" and "I know", which were included on her indie single - as opposed to the audition rule that a participant could only sing two songs. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, she strummed her guitar and sang. The judges and the others present claimed that "the performance created a tremendous aura from her heavenly voice, and captured the hearts of the whole audience".
Upon leaving her home of Fukuoka for Tokyo, YUI wrote the song "feel my soul". She was planning release on an indie label as a tribute to her hometown, when the song caught the ears of Fuji TV producer, Mr. Yamaguchi, who happened to see the demo video clip. He claimed YUI's voice haunted him so much that he went out of his way to visit the recording studio himself. He even made his channel's prime-time drama an extraordinary tie-in with YUI's debut track.
Although she is not the most comfortable when it comes to talking to people, she enjoys communicating with her audience at street performances in the Tenjin district of Fukuoka.
Her fifth single is "Good-bye days", which was also the theme for the film "Taiyou no Uta" ("Midnight Sun"). YUI took a role of a leading actress herself. The artist usually listed as singing "Good-bye days" is YUI for 雨音薫 (YUI for Kaoru Amane).
YUI's seventh single, "Rolling star", is the fifth opening theme of BLEACH. Selling almost 150,000 copies, it is YUI's second highest selling single to date (first being "Good-bye days" with over 200,000 copies.)
After taking a five-month long hiatus beginning in late August 2008, YUI celebrated her return by releasing the single "Again" which was chosen as the first theme song for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Instantaneously successful, the song had the highest opening week sales for a female act in 2009, selling over 110,000 copies.

YUI Lyrics
Am I wrong? 黙っていた それは yesか noだけで 決められないことだって すぐにわかったから 目をそらしたら たぶん 話し出す…
Cloudy なぜもっと 早く言えなかったの? こんなんじゃ 悲しくって こんなんじゃ 終われない わかってるみたいな 顔ばかりみ…
crossroad ひだまりの中ではしゃぐ子供たち 水しぶきあがるけど うまく笑えなくてただぼんやり そんな景色見てる 返事のないメールば…
Daydreamer 誰にも知られないようなスピードで Run away 赤い車走らせて街を出るの 現実はいつものテーブルの上 Far…
Driving today 海まで行きたいな 免許が取れたなら 車に乘り込んで 一人でドライヴ 誰も見たことがない 太陽を越えてゆく …
Free Bird 飛べるだろう今は 闇をくぐり抜けて 海を超え山を越え 日常など気にせず 時間を超え ジンジンと痛むような刺激を 今よりも…
Good‐bye days だからいま 会いにゆく そう決めたんだ ポケットの この曲を 君に聴かせたい そっとヴォリュームを上げて 確かめてみたよ…
HELP どうしたらいい? ねえ神様 ずっとモヤモヤ まだ きえない 試練なら耐えてみせる でも運命はあなた次第なの ラッキー…
I wanna be… 買ったばかりの手帳 なくしただけなのに 明日が見えない そんな気がしたの いっそのこと 忘れたいけど そんなこと考え…
I'll be I'll be 君のこと 想いだしていたんだ 旅立ちを 決めたんだね Together いつだって応援してるよ もし …
It's happy line 誰の為に生きているの? さえない日々を過ごして 弱さも痛みも どのくらい感じてるの? 足りない昨日におぼれ 夢に書いた今…

Last Train いつもの場所 夕暮れの国道見下ろして 家路に急ぐ人たちを ぼんやり追いかけた きっと同じ事 たぶん同じような事 繰り返し…
Love is all 昔 目指してた なんて言うから 油断していたけど わかってはくれないね とぼけたカオして 聞いてくるけどヘンだ …
Namidairo 嫌われているような 気がしてた 帰り道 見上げた部屋の灯り 今 どんな気持ちでいるのだろう? ケンカになればすぐ謝る …
No way もうイヤんなっちゃうよ! さっきからうわの空で ケータイを ずっと気にしてるけど 誰とメールしてるの? …
Oh My God (Ah ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) (Ah ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) 謝ってしまえばいい…
Skyline ちょっとだけ 考えすぎちゃうみたい 眠れない部屋のなか いっそもう 夜を飛びだしてみたい 窓辺にためいきが落ちる ツ…
Tomorrow's way いまを壊してしまいたい いまにすがりついていたい 自分のことはわからない やり直せるはずないよ 知らない街に隠れてみて…
Understand たぶん泣いてた 帰り道 うつむいたままで 何も言えなかった ずっと側にいたけど 公園を横切って 近道して歩いた なんと…
Why me Found me 追いかけて Umm ずっとさみしくて 一人きりの sad night 夜更け前の闇に溶け込んでた こ…
Winter Hot Music 冬の早起きはどうしたって苦手なの 寒がりな時間 包まっていたいから もう少し このままで Music 手を伸ばして …
