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 ↴
情熱なくさないように ススメ rock'n roll life
何事もトライ? それじゃ疲れちゃうわ
迷ってなんかないのよ I am all right
偽りの言葉で 明日はすれ違う
人ごみ交差点 ぶつかりあって excuse me
It's my life きっと大丈夫 胸の奥で唱えるの
Always a star 遠慮してたら no, no, no
都会に吹き抜ける blue wind
生ぬるくなってきてイヤだわ
愛情なくさないように ススメ rock'n roll life
Oh friends 覚えてますか?
犠牲になって消えてった感情? Love?
無くしたものばかり 悔やむ事はない
ずっと繰り返している わりと人生は長い
It's my life きっと大丈夫 マジメにやってゆけたら
Always a star つよがりは続いてゆく
都会に吹き抜ける blue wind
砂ぼこりに目を細めている
泣きたくはないんだ まだ歩かなきゃ
誤解されることだってある
少し強くならなくちゃ 進めない
It's my life きっと大丈夫 胸の奥で唱えるの
Always a star 遠慮してたら no, no, no
言い訳なんて 聞いてくれないし
歩いた分だけの my story
情熱なくさないように
ゆこう rock'n roll life
