YUI's famous and popular songs

Let me introduce some songs by YUI, a singer-songwriter who also performs as the vocalist and guitarist for the rock band FLOWER FLOWER.

Known for her remarkably powerful voice, she reportedly focused on street performances after dropping out of high school.

Her debut came through an audition held by the Sony Group.

Although the audition was supposed to consist of two songs, she apparently insisted on performing three.

As it turns out, the judges gave that third song the highest possible score.

It seems that her knack for rising to the occasion—and her strong will—are what underpin her talent.

Rolling star, one of YUI’s popular songs featured as an opening theme for the anime BLEACH, is her seventh single, released in 2007.

True to the tagline, “An irresistibly feel-good rock ’n’ roll number!! YUI’s first cheer song!!,” it’s a powerful, uplifting anthem that energizes its listeners.

YUI is well-known for having many songs themed around mobile phones, and this one is also lovely, focusing on exchanging emails.

When this song was first released, features like ‘read receipts’ didn’t exist, so you really just had to wait for a message from the person you liked.

This is a powerful track that feels like YUI’s pent-up frustration exploding.

Even though it has an aggressive sound that’s rare for YUI, it doesn’t lose her signature touch, which to me speaks to her inner strength.

It’s truly a “Crazy” song.

There are lots of refreshing, upbeat songs, so I especially recommend them for listening with a group.

The melodies have dramatic pitch shifts and are passionate.

This song is one of those, but above all, its sense of speed in the melody is amazing, and just listening to it gets you pumped up.

A song included on the coupling best album MY SHORT STORIES, released in 2008.

It was used as the theme song for Sony Walkman’s “Play You.” campaign at the time.

It’s a uniquely YUI-style cheer song that gives you a push when you decide to set out on a new journey.

A jam is a performance where musicians, without deciding on specifics like songs, play improvisationally while listening to each other—mainly for their own enjoyment.

Maybe YUI also longed for that kind of everyday life: jamming in a warehouse with that guy holding a Les Paul.

My Generation, which became the theme song for the drama “Seito Shokun!,” was written specifically for the show and released in 2007 as YUI’s ninth single.

The song resonates with YUI’s own life—she dropped out of high school at 16 and began attending a music school to pursue her dream of becoming a singer.

With its powerful vocals that shake the listener’s soul, it stands as a true masterpiece.
