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.

ESCAPE
YUI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
赤いポストに寄りかかって待ってたの
ウチのすぐ前だったらママに見つかるよって
あたしは何にも悪くないのに
Spiral and Escape あたしはひとり
Spiral and Escape 彼が出てくるのを
国道沿い 耳もとで話した
人目を気にしているのがわかった
何を守っているの? 誰に怯えてるの?
あたしは何にも怖くないのに
Spiral and Escape うつむいたまま
Spiral and Escape 彼の言い訳ばかり
ずっと待っていた ずっと待っていた
子供のままじゃ傷つくよ
何も犠牲にしない 優しさなら いらない
I need you そう言えないから
Spiral and Escape あたしはひとり
Spiral and Escape 彼からさよならを
ずっと待っていた ずっと待っていた あの頃
The first verse of YUI's song ESCAPE paints a picture of a girl waiting at a familiar street corner next to a red mailbox. She is aware that if her mother found out she was there, she would be in trouble, even though she feels like she hasn't done anything wrong. The girl is waiting for someone and seemingly stuck in a spiral of waiting and escaping. The second verse sees her standing beside the highway, talking to someone and feeling self-consciousness due to the attention of others. She questions what it is that she is trying to protect and who she is scared of, as she herself is not afraid of anything. The girl is still waiting for someone and their excuses, but the cycle of waiting and escaping seems to be causing more harm than good.
Through the lyrics of ESCAPE, YUI presents a message about the cycle of waiting for someone who may never come, wanting to believe what they say despite knowing it may not be true. From the first verse, we can see that the girl's eagerness and excitement to see the person she is waiting for has led her to be in a potentially dangerous situation. She is waiting just for the sake of waiting, even though she may be better off doing something else with her time. In the second verse, the person she is waiting for is making excuses and giving her reasons to stay when it may not be the best thing for her to do. The song's overall theme is the contradiction of wanting someone you know is not right for you, but still not having the strength to let go.
