Yokoyama failed SKE48's 2nd generation auditions but passed AKB48's 6th round of auditions for the 9th generation Research Students on September 20, 2009. Yokoyama was the first 9th generation Research Student to be promoted at AKB48 Tokyo Matsuri on October 10, 2010.
Yokoyama was ranked for the first time in AKB48's 3rd Senbatsu Sousenkyo as #19, and gained a place in the senbatsu for "Flying Get". In the 4th Senbatsu Sousenkyo, Yokoyama increased her ranking to #15.
In the AKB48 Tokyo Dome Concert, it was announced that Yokoyama would join NMB48 and therefore hold a concurrent position between AKB48's Team A and NMB48. In November, Yokoyama was a senbatsu member for NMB48's 6th single "Kitagawa Kenji".
Yokoyama ranked #3 in AKB48's 3rd Janken Taikai.

May ふとつぶやいた
何もないこの部屋で
一人きり
May 何回くらい
May 呼んだのだろう
思い出と家具はもう
外に出したんだ
風のように
通り過ぎるもの
永遠だって
終わりがある
君が出て行ってから
切なくて住めないと
思った
May 教えて欲しい
May どこで暮らすの?
それからのアドレスは
知らなくて
May 心配なのは
May ここ訪れて
僕じゃない住人に
君が戸惑うこと
愛はいつも
傷(いた)みやすく
壊れやすいもの
人の心
儚いよね
窓に西陽が差し
輝いたあの季節
想う
Mayの名前聞くと
振り向いてしまうよ
愛の日々は
風のように
通り過ぎるもの
永遠だって
終わりがある
君が出て行ってから
切なくて住めないと

The song "May" by Yui Yokoyama is about someone who is alone in their room, and suddenly, they whisper the name "May." They wonder how many times they have called out her name, and think about the memories they shared together. The singer has moved on now, as evident from selling the furniture that they had shared. The song speaks about how love can be ephemeral and fragile, and how the heart can be easily broken. The chorus of the song talks about how the love they shared together was like the wind, constantly flowing and never staying in one place for too long. The singer thinks about the happy memories they shared, particularly the times they spent during May, which was probably when they first fell in love. The song ends with how painful it is to live in the same house when May is not there, and how the thought is unbearable.
