She sings and plays acoustic guitar, and writes her own songs. She is still relatively unknown outside of Japan. However, two of her songs are featured in Bleach, a popular Japanese anime series, which have brought her some international fame. The first is her single "LIFE", the 5th ending theme. The second, and more recent one, is "Rolling star", the 5th opening theme.
Her first full album, From Me to You, was released February 22, 2006, to great acclaim. Among its 13 tracks, 9 of them were brand new, and these have been well received from her fans. The album has already sold quite well, reaching as high as the weekly 9th most sold album in Japan, and the main track, TOKYO, has reached the number 4 spot on the MTV Japan song charts.
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 was 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.
YUI honed her acting and singing skills in a movie released on June 17, 2006 called Midnight Sun (in Japanese Taiyō no Uta (タイヨウのうた, song of the sun?))[1], which was screened at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival
