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.

So kimetanda Poketto no
Kono kyoku wo kimi ni kikasetai
Sotto boryu-mu wo agete
Tashikamete mitayo
Oh Good-bye Days Ima
Kawaru ki ga suru Kinou made ni
Yasashisa ga soba ni aru kara
La la la la love with you
Katahou no earphone wo Kimi ni watasu
Yukkuri to nagare komu Kono shunkan
Umaku aisete imasu ka?
Tama ni mayou kedo
Oh Good-bye days Ima,
Kawari hajimeta Mune no oku

Yasashisa ga soba ni aru kara
La la la la love with you
Dekireba kanashii Omoi nante shitaku nai
Demo yattekuru deshou,
Oh Sono toki egao de

“Good-bye Days” is a song by YUI (吉岡唯) that deals with the bittersweet memories of love and the process of moving on. The opening lines “Dakara ima ai ni yuku / So kimetanda Poketto no / Kono kyoku wo kimi ni kikasetai” translate to "So, I’ve decided to go meet love now / I want to let you listen to this song, put it into your pocket." The song is about saying goodbye to a loved one and moving forward. It touches on the sadness that comes with leaving someone behind, but also the hope that the memories will be treasured forever.
The lyrics repeat the phrase “Kakko yokunai” which roughly means "not cool" or "unimpressive" in Japanese. However, in this context, it suggests that it’s okay to not have everything figured out and to allow oneself to be vulnerable. The lyrics also mention the importance of kindness in relationships, with the line “Yasashisa ga soba ni aru kara” translating to “Because kindness is by my side.”
Overall, the lyrics of “Good-bye Days” are introspective and raw, evoking a sense of longing and acceptance. Through the song, YUI acknowledges the pain that comes with moving on while recognizing the beauty of what was once shared.
