Fukuoka, Japan (2003 – present)
YUI (born March 26, 1987 in Fukuoka, Japan), is a japanese singer-songwriter and actress. She sings and plays acoustic guitar, and writes her own songs, and apart from playing acoustic guitar, she also likes watching movies, reading books, and playing badminton. Her third single “LIFE” was the fifth ending theme for BLEACH, a popular Japanese anime series, which has brought her some international fame.
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”.

Thanks, mixounette. :) I've been a fan of YUI since before "Feel My Soul" was even released... and yes, her music has definitely gone downhill. After "Rolling Star", I agree. (2)

It was from the anime that I heard of her for the first time. I like her sweet voice and some of her songs show a great degree of maturity. I don't know if she changed or not, but changing is neccesary to avoid being stucked in the same place. Maybe some people won't like it, and some will do.

@StrumNoPick: This must be the most ignorant comment I have ever read in this shoutbox. I for one know that most who don't like her new stuff were fans BEFORE her songs were used in anime. She started going downhill after Rolling star in my opinion, though I did enjoy CHE.R.RY and SUMMER SONG.

YUI is awsome wrapped in a cute package...of awsomeness! Can't buy my love is a fantastic album and Love & Truth still is great. YAY YUI! YUI has not "fallen off" musiclly or anyother way. you who say shes dead to you probably only listen to the songs on the anime anyway. listen to her albums they are tight. so go ahead and hold your breath on that "come back" notice. she doesn't need to come back cause she never left.

Extremely agree with TYPE-MOON! I saw a comment concerning I LOVED YESTERDAY, it said that YUI didn't make some great breakthrough even it was already her 3rd album. Maybe I am not a old fan of her, I think I still can wait. But if she really change, I am quite looking foward to see her singing Jazz =P
