YUI

major - aktiv (2004 - )

YUI is a female J-pop singer-songwriter. As opposed to many young idols, YUI actually writes and plays her songs herself. Accompanied by her acoustic guitar, playing while sitting in her favorite cross-legged position, YUI creates pop songs with a rock edge to them. Her voice is fresh and high-pitched, fitting the songs perfectly.

In the past few years, the young artist has grown pretty popular in Japan, winning several big awards, appearing on numerous TV and radio shows. Besides her music activities, she has also starred as the main actress in a movie.
