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
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
迷いながら つまずいても 立ち止まれない
君がくれた笑顔 落とした涙は
僕の胸の 深い傷に 触れて消えた
I feel my soul, take me your way
そうたったひとつを
それは偶然ではなくて 偽りの愛なんかじゃなくて
You're right, all right, you're right, all right
Scare little boy
何度も繰り返す どうか行かないで
ささやくような 君の声は 愛しくて
I feel my soul, take me your way
もう振り向かない
きっとこの手で いま確かめたいよ
いつも単純なほど 苦しんで 生きてゆく意味を知りたいから
You're right, all right, you're right, all right
Scare little boy
そっとつぶやいた君の言葉 you say it
動き出せ 見えないけど 道は開かれてる
I feel my soul, take me your way
そうもがきながらも
きっとこのまま ずっと歩いてゆける
それは偶然でもなくって ありふれた夢なんかじゃなくって
You're right, all right, you're right, all right
いつも単純なほど苦しんで 喜びの意味を知りたいから
You're right, all right, you're right, all right
Scare little boy
The lyrics of YUI’s song ‘Feel my Soul’ talk about feeling lost and without direction, but then finding hope and inspiration in someone else’s smile and words. The opening lines express a sense of weariness and confusion, with no one to turn to and stumbling along without being able to stop. Despite this, the singer is touched by a smile and a tear that reaches into the depths of their heart and heals a wound. The chorus expresses a desire to follow this path and to find purpose and meaning through it, with a recognition that it is not just chance or false love leading the way.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the person being addressed is offering encouragement and gentle guidance, with their voice being described as a longing whisper that is beloved. The singer repeatedly expresses a need to continue walking down this path, even while struggling, because they feel that it will lead them to something true and worthwhile. The final verse highlights the idea that finding the meaning of life is sometimes easiest when we keep things simple and focus on the things that bring us joy.
Throughout the whole song, there is an undercurrent of fear and uncertainty, described in the repeated lines of the chorus ‘Scare little boy’. This is a powerful reminder that even when we have someone to guide us, life can be daunting and it takes courage to keep moving forward.

学生時代YUIがすべてだった。どの思い出にもYUIの曲が重なる。
いつからかYUIの曲を聞いて懐かしさを感じてしまうようになったの、YUIが大好きだっただけにどこか寂しい
@user-rp4bg6nx3o
わかります。
歳を 重ねるごとに 忘れていたわけでもないのに
いつのまにか 遠い存在に なってしまった
寂しいですよね
でも 戻ってきてって 思い切って思えなくて
せつないですよね

ただ実はYUIはある人の代わりにデビューした。本来デビューするはずだったもう1人の天才は今どこで何してるのかな。
