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.

Am I Wrong
YUI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
話し出すのね? あなたは
怖いものなんてないの
今日も歌を作りました
許してゆこうと歌いました
それなのに
電話が鳴る 一時中断しただけで
笑ったりよくできるなと 見ていた
機嫌が悪いだけだと
きっと思ってるんでしょう?
あなたは
守るものはたったひとつ
心に嘘はつけないの
今日も歌を作りました
続けてゆこうと歌いました
それなのに
わかりあえないね あなたとは
困らせたりしたくないよ
でも譲るわけにいかないよ
明日も歌を作るから
偽りなく生きていたいよ
それなのに ah
それだけなのに ah
Am I wrong?
The lyrics of YUI's song "Am I wrong?" convey feelings of frustration and confusion arising from communication issues in a relationship. The opening lines, "I was silent. It was a decision that couldn't be made with just yes or no. I understood right away," suggest that the singer is struggling to express herself to her partner, and that this is a recurring issue. The following lines, "If I look away, maybe you'll start talking? You're not afraid of anything. You don't have anything to lose," imply that the partner is either unaware of or unsympathetic to the singer's communication difficulties.
The second verse continues with the theme of disconnectedness, as the singer laments that "We can't understand each other, can we?" and expresses a desire to "live without lies" and "make songs again tomorrow." The final lines of the song, "Even though I don't want to trouble you, I can't give in. I want to live without deceit. But that's all. That's it. Am I wrong?" suggest that the singer is determined to stay true to herself, even if it means sacrificing communication with her partner or risking the relationship.

You said nothing, and I knew right away
That it wasn’t a yes-no question
You’ll...
Probably start talking
When I look away, right?
I’m not afraid of anything
I’ve got nothing to lose
I wrote another song today
I sang it to say “Let’s forgive each other”, but...
When the phone rang, I hit “suspend” and that was all I needed
To see that we can do things like laughing well
You...
Probably think I’m just
In a bad mood, right?
There’s only one thing I’m protecting
I can’t lie to my heart
I wrote another song today
I sang it to say “Let’s carry on”, but...
I don’t understand you...
I don’t want to bug you
But I can’t give in either
I’ll write another song tomorrow
I want to live with no lies, but...
That’s all, but, ah ah
Am I wrong?

YUIに憧れて、CD買って聴きまくって、YUIと同じ音楽塾行くために福岡に引っ越しっていう青春思い出す。
これから音楽して行く人達は夢を叶えて欲しい！
まずは好きな歌手を真似してほしい。
俺は諦めてしまったけど、みんなは叶うからきっと。
YUIの歌を聴くたびに涙が出る。
