^yeah she's the one =)....

I love Yui, she has a great voice & her music is lovely.
I believe the first time I heard her song was on the airplane to Tokyo !
They were playing her "Goodbye Days" on the Japanese radio.
Rigth after hearing that I immediately became a fan.
She's only 5"1?! Wow for the longest time, I thought she was around 5"4.

Yui's one of my fave Japanese artists and her songs are always a joy to listen to. Current love is Rolling Star xDDD

Here are some old pics of her from her "From Me to You" booklet (only two that I have ._.)



And then a random one...

I've been a YUI fan since she released "feel my soul," and I must say, her songs have gotten even better. I LOVED "Good-bye days," "I remember you," and "Rolling star" and I'm sure I'll love "CHER.RY" and her new album as well.

I bought her From Me to You album when I was in Japan.
She's a great singer. I LOVED Good-bye days.

goodbye days is the only song i know... i love it, YUI as kaoru amane >>>>>>>>> sawaeri as kaoru amane...

is she the one who sings the fruits baskets theme? i was never sure of that.

^
I don't think she did...but, of course, I may be wrong. ^^;;

XD~! YUI rocks....<3~!

cheers darlin: No, Yui wasn't the one who sang the Fruits Basket theme song. It was Ritsuko Okazaki.

I love her unique voice! It's sooo cute!
When I first heard Rolling Star in Bleach, I thought it was a child singing, then I found out it was her! xDDD
Now I love her other songs as well. They're really nice to listen to. And she's cute. xDDD

I thought there was already a topic on her? oh well...I love her too!

I generally do not like artists with such high voices but I really like her songs =)

I LOVED Rolling Star. When I saw her name on the opening theme of Bleach, I was like MUST DOWNLOAD. So I did but I couldn't find any other songs by her when I typed it in.

juz wanna share her newest vid...Yui - CHE.R.RY

tho it will be released on March 7, the internet has it all...

"I remember you" and "Tokyo" are my fave Yui songs!!!!!!!
She's cool!!~~

im a huge fan of YUI, i have her 1st album as well as her movie midnight sun. she did surprisingly well for a first time actress and the movie is sad but GOOD!

She is WAAAY to overrated in my opinion x_x.

^ How so? ._.

I'd say she's underrated actually.

i think Yui's a gret singer. I love her songs, and I love how she plays the guitar. ^^

Hey, does anyone know where I can find translations of YUI's songs?

love YUI!
Her songs are sooo catchy!
<33
Listening to Winding Road at the mo'

i like her! she's a really talented musician!
she doesn't have the strongest voice but its cute!
and her songs are always nice to listen to.
my favorite songs would be 'tomorrow's way', 'tokyo' and 'goodbye days'

yui is so good
i loved her in midnight sun

Heard one or two of her songs that were pretty good. too bad she doesn't seem very popular.

Her new song Love & Truth is really good! Did anyone hear it yet?

I love her song Cherry. she's a really good singer.

Here's the PV (movie version) of her new song Love & Truth:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHnKoH-AZ3k

Does anyone know when the single's coming out? I know it's sometime this month because I think she's coming out in Hey3x music champ on the 24th.

i really like a lot of her songs but sadly, i don't really like her voice but i'm starting to get use to it 'cuz i've been playing her songs non stop lately. i can't help but keep on listening to "forever love" and "goodbye days" rite now x)
she's so adorable and mighty talented!

Her new song is great!!!
I love it!
I'm always listening to her songs!

I've recently started to like YUI. My friend introduced her to me but I was like meh about it when I read her wiki page since I didn't find it interesting. However, a month or two ago I somehow just decided to check her out on YouTube - probably because of LOVE & TRUTH that i heard from Sawajiri Erika's movied Closed Note (lol the bad attitude). I watched Taiyou no uta and fell in love with Goodbye days! I thought I like Otsuka Ai cuz her voice was so cute, but I think YUI's is just right~ Now I abosultely love her! Nakashima Mika used to be my favourite female J-pop artist, but now YUI is at the same level~





If she's overrated this thread wouldn't only have 30 replies (including mine).

OMG!!! i didn't know their was a thread in here
foy Yui I love Yui! and her songs are sooo good!
especially Love & Truth Rolling Star and My Generation!^^

I like Yui and her songs. I don't understand them, but they sound good - calms me down =) hahaha. Does anybody know where I can download her songs?

she's pretty good at singing, and alot of her songs are pretty calm. i really like her new song, "summer song" cos its more upbeat rather then just guitar and vocals

YUI is my fav jpop artist...my friend sent me her "feel my soul" single and i had been a casual listener....i just thought it was just another girl with a guitar ....and her voice was a bit pitchy at first for me but it fit the songs she writes... she doesn't have the strongest vocals but i love how much she puts into all her songs and how she's improved her performances ...she's written the lyrics to most of her songs and composed most of them too..starting w/ a melody and then lyrics..it wasn't until her "I remember you" + "rolling star" singles came out i became a huge fan.. ..

i managed to get concert tickets this past summer and got to watch her live..it was sso awesome >__<

here was my review
