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.

It's all right
YUI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
走り出した列車の窓には
やりきれない想いのアタシが見えた
もっと もっと 話してみなくちゃ
わかりあえないこともあったよね?
駅のホームではまだ君が手をふってる
真夏の流星に輝きが似てるそんな日常
いいことばっかは続かない
見逃すばっかじゃ叶わない
儚すぎる未来 it's all right
ほんの ちょっと 昔に戻れたら
うまくやり直せそうだけど
遠くなってゆく もう君が見えない
こんなんじゃ素敵な想い出を曇らせてしまうよ
真夏の流星に輝きが似てるそんな日常
いいことばっかは続かない
見逃すばっかじゃ叶わない
儚すぎる未来 it's all right
きっと 瞬きしてたら
過ぎてゆく そんな気がしたの
今さらだって思っても
このままなんてやりきれない
次の駅で降りてみる
真夏の流星に輝きが似てるそんな日常
いいことばっかは続かない
見逃すばっかじゃ叶わない
儚すぎる未来 it's all right
The song "It's All Right" by YUI tells the story of a woman who is trying to move on from a past relationship but finds it difficult to forget the memories and unbearable thoughts that come with it. The first verse talks about the singer crying and crying to forget their emotions. However, as she looks out of the window of a train, she sees herself still struggling to cope with her emotions. In the second verse, she wishes that she had spoken more with her ex-partner to understand one another better. She also mentions that she still sees him waving goodbye on the train station platform.
The chorus of the song talks about how life can be like a meteor, shining brightly and then disappearing too soon. The singer is aware that good things don't always last, and sometimes, we have to take risks and not just sit idly by or let good opportunities pass us by. Even if the future may seem fleeting or transitory, she is ultimately okay with it, hence the title of the song.
The final verse talks about how the singer wishes she could go back in time to fix her mistakes and correct her misjudgments. She realizes that dwelling on regrets will only tarnish the beautiful memories that she has had in the past. Even though it may be difficult for her to move on, she understands that she needs to take action and move forward. The song ends with the singer saying that she realizes that she has the power to change her fate, suggesting a positive and hopeful ending.
