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.

曲がりくねった細い道 人につまずく
あの頃みたいにって戻りたい訳じゃないの
無くしてきた空を探してる
わかってくれますように犠牲になったような
悲しい顔はやめてよ
出口見えない感情迷路に誰を待ってるの?
白いノ一トに綴ったようにもっと素直に吐き出したいよ
何から 逃れたいんだ 現実ってやつ?
叶えるために 生きてるんだって
忘れちゃいそうな 夜の真ん中
無難になんて やってられないから
帰る場所もないの
この想いを 消してしまうには
まだ人生長いでしょ? (I'm on the way)
懐かしくなる こんな痛みも歓迎じゃん
謝らなくちゃいけないよね ah ごめんね
うまく言えなくて心配かけたままだったね
あの日かかえた全部 あしたかかえる全部
順番つけたりはしないから
わかってくれますようにそっと目を閉じたんだ
見たくないものまで見えんだもん
いらないウワサにちょっと初めて聞く発言どっち?
2回会ったら友達だって? ウソはやめてね
赤いハ一トが苛立つように身体ん中燃えているんだ
ホントは 期待してんの 現実ってやつ?
叶えるために 生きてるんだって
叫びたくなるよ 聞こえていますか?
無難になんて やってられないから
帰る場所もないの
優しさには いつも感謝してる
だから強くなりたい (I'm on the way)
進むために 敵も味方も歓迎じゃん
どうやって次のドア開けるんだっけ? 考えてる?
もう引き返せない 物語 始まってるんだ

The lyrics of YUI's song, "I'm on the way," speak of a journey - both physical and emotional - and the struggles and challenges that come with it. The first stanza recounts the difficulty of following the continuation of a dream while stumbling on a narrow and winding road. The singer voices her refusal to go back to the way things were before, but instead seeks to find the missing piece that fills the hollow space in her heart. She implores those around her to understand and help her bear the burden she carries, and to refrain from making her feel more like a victim.
In the second stanza, the singer acknowledges the weight of her sins and emotional turmoil she must carry, and her confusion as to who she is waiting for in the maze of her emotions. She expresses her desire to be more honest with herself and the world, and to escape reality which she associates with a sense of entrapment. The following stanzas talk about the singer's desire to live her life with purpose, to be heard, to have a place to call home, and to be strong in the face of adversity.
"I'm on the way" is a powerful song that addresses themes of longing, confusion, and inner struggle, all shaped by the desire for purpose and meaning in one's life.

Apesar de eu ter que continuar a seguir os meus sonhos
Nessa estrada tortuosa e estreita eu esbarro nas pessoas
Não é que eu queria voltar para aquele tempo
Eu só estou procurando o céu que eu perdi
Pare de fazer essa cara triste
Para que pensem que é a vitima
Nossas faltas não terminam em lágrimas
Sempre teremos que carregá-las nas costas
Nesse labirinto de emoções que não se enxerga o fim
Por quem você está esperando?
Como se escrevesse num caderno em branco
Eu quero desabafar mais honestamente
Do que exatamente eu quero fugir,
Da tal realidade?
Vivemos para realizar nossos desejos
Mas parece que na escuridão da noite esquecemos disso
Por não fazer as coisas com mais segurança
Não tenho nem um lugar para voltar
A vida ainda é muito longa
Para apagar esses sentimentos (estou a caminho)
Se tornou nostálgico
Já até aceitei essa dor
Tenho que me desculpar, ah, me perdoe
Por não ter conseguido me expressar direito, eu te preocupei
Tudo que aconteceu naquele dia, tudo que acontecerá amanhã
As coisas não seguem em ordem
Para me entender, feche os olhos
Até que veja o que não quer ver
Esses rumores desconhecidos
De quem ouviu algo pela primeira vez?
Mesmo sendo amigo ou inimigo pare de mentir
O coração vermelho parece irritado
Quando queima dentro do corpo
A verdade é que eu anseio
Por essa tal de realidade?
Vivemos para realizar nossos desejos, o que me da vontade de gritar, consegue ouvir?
Por não fazer as coisas com mais segurança
Não tenho nem um lugar para voltar
Sou sempre grato a sua gentileza, por isso quero ser mais forte
Estou a caminho
Para seguir em frente aceito meus amigos e inimigos
Fico pensando em abrir a próxima porta
A história que não volta mais já começou
Acorde
Acorde
A vida ainda é muito longa para apagar esses sentimentos
Pois gostaria de terminar tudo que deixei inacabado
Vamos mais uma vez?
Vivemos para realizar nossos desejos, o que me da vontade de gritar, consegue ouvir?
Por não fazer as coisas com mais segurança
Não tenho nem um lugar para voltar
Sou sempre grato a sua gentileza, por isso quero ser mais forte
Estou a caminho
Se tornou nostálgico, já até aceitei essa dor
