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 ↴
白く無情に嘆くより働いた
深夜のバーガーショップ
朝を待つ少女がひとり
アタシが無くしたものは何?
愛しても引き裂かれるほど oh your love
あなたの温もりを想い出す oh tell me
ねぇ神様は誰の 味方をするんだろう?
Come a.Live
Dance 踊るみたいに笑ったら
ひらりスカートの裾
邪魔になった
都会をさまよって
奇麗なものに触れるたび
変われない自分に気づいてる
悲しみはいずれ優しさになる oh get back
優しさは人を守るチカラに but for me
精一杯だよ 今を生き抜くために oh baby
ねぇ神様は誰を守ろうとしているの?
いつだって未来を信じているから
同じ時代に生まれて来た
あなたと一緒に
確かな手応えが欲しくて no no no
Love, your love 苦しくもなるんだ
なのに正義って何だろう? 憎しみは何処へゆくの? Oh baby
でも生きてゆかなくちゃ
Tomorrow's way
愛しても引き裂かれるほど
No crime 罪もなき 現実を受け止める no no no
十年先 灯す明かりのために oh baby
いま明日へとむかうの あなたにも来て欲しい
Come a.Live
The lyrics of YUI's song Green a.live delve into the theme of love and its complexities. The opening lines express a sense of powerlessness in love and an effort to channel that feeling into something productive instead of just lamenting the lost love. The lyrics feature a girl working at a late-night burger shop waiting for morning, questioning what it is that she has lost. The chorus speaks of the pain of love that can tear apart and yet leave behind a warmth that is cherished. It also questions the nature of justice and where hatred goes. The lyrics then shift to the theme of change and self-discovery. The verse speaks of a girl wandering through the city, seeking to touch beautiful things, but realizing that she has not changed much. The lyrics remind the listener that sadness can turn into kindness and this kindness is the power to protect. The song then ends with a call for hope and moving forward.
The song's title, 'Green a.live,' contains a play on words. The word green can be interpreted as a colour of life or growth and also how alive can be interpreted as 'a.live.' The song is said to be inspired by the natural environment, and the accompanying music video features a lush green forest.
The song was released as the theme song for the Japanese drama 'Watashi ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu.' The drama depicts the story of a woman struggling to find love while serving as a substitute teacher at a high school.
YUI wrote both the lyrics and composed the song herself. The song's composition is based on folk and rock music styles, with an acoustic guitar part prominent throughout the song.
The song's lyrics have gained popularity within the Japanese youth demographic, with many young people relating to the struggles that the lyrics express.
The song has been covered by many artists, including several contestants on music competition shows.
YUI performed the song on several popular Japanese music shows, including 'Music Station' and 'Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ.'
The song's success helped YUI win several music awards in Japan in 2012, including the 54th Japan Record Award for Best Song.
