[RockLee]

I adore her too ! Thx for making the thread Hyde! A few days ago I noticed her new album is released :eek: I love "Tokyo" so much :-)

Her album is out on torrent like 3 days or so ago, already got it :bluush:
Btw, she did the end theme for bleach :)

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

The ending theme was "Life" right? I love that song, I love all her stuff.

And I'm so jealous, I want her album so bad. But I have no money.

[Mambo]

New obsession??? Sounds rather creepy if you ask me. I guess fresh faced youngsters do it for some people

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

Ano...that was rather mean and uncalled for but okay.

[advigilo]

Oo i agree.... ill check her out :-) tnks

[do you eat crapz?]

awwwww, i like her!!! she is awesome!! and the kid from moonchild!! i like her music too, it is...different *can't think of another word to describe it*

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

Yeah, I really like her too. It's great to see a woman in the J-Music scene who isn't bubble gum pop.

[AL-Zilla]

I just got her new CD.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

I have just about everything off of it and YES it is AMAZING!!! :love:

[Yokan]

[do you eat crapz?]

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

I really love her, and she's good Live, thank you Goddess! I've found a lot of female artists in Japan SUCK MAJOR MONKEY BUTT Live but Yui-san doesn't.

[Philip]

I just watched tokyo on youtube. It's okay. But I really like Life! great song... hehe I first heard it in a bleach episode. :-)

[Gigi@stitch]

i never listen her name...
but i know her now...
it is because i listen her song "Good-bye days"
it is a great song:bluush:

Also, her voice is very sweet:-)

[piccachiu]

Refreshing acoustic/jpop/jrock sensation, YUI! :cool:

I will be posting some of her information here, photos, links, and hot news about her so hope YUI fans could participate in it. :)

Arigatou ne! :p

[dignity92]

I've never heard of her before, but it would be interesting to listen to someone new :-) Is she a new artist or old? Yui is her stage name?

[Dutch Baka]

Merged the thread.......

[Philip]

Born March 26, 1987 :-) I downloaded some of her songs. :cool: rollings star is good.

[Homerduff]

rolling star was the first song I listened to from her, and its awesome. I will definetly do some more research..

[haidoLove]

oooh i love seeing this cute girl playing the guitar^^ she's really nice and has beautiful songs....! she writes them on her own, right? :cool:

[Bloopie]

Oh my gosh, I didn't know this artist was a woman >>

I've seen her name floating around Batsu, but I never had interest in clicking on the topic.

She seems rather interesting.

[Hyde_is_my_anti-drug]

Yeah, I like her... her newer stuff seems kinda pop princess-ish but I'll hold out on judgment.

[vicky666]

i like her, a bit poppy, but listenable

recommendations: LIFE, Merry go round

[longtailedmonkey]

I can't say I'm impressed with her new releases they're just nice, she's releasing too fast and the songs just.. aren't as good as 2006 releases ^^

[zHen_ji]

[Seshka]

I found out about YUI because I'm currently obsessed with the Bleach anime.

<3 I love her voice! It's doesn't have the squeakinesses some female Jpop singers have. Her voice is pretty and I LOVE HER <3!! :love:

*fangirls* ^^;

[Dutch Baka]

I have been listening to her two albums lately "Can't buy my love", and "From me to you", and I have to say that I like both of them... Just too bad My generation isn't on it.

[manami]

[kaai]

I like YUI, she is lovely.
YUI has gone out to a lot of television programs
in Japan. The theme song of the drama is singing Dai popular also
recently.
I love feel my soul the best.
Do you like feel my soul?

[DarkSharingan]

Love YUI, first heard her sing in bleach and now im a huge fan of hers. Favorite song is rolling star.

[royjapan]

She stared her career by singing on the street. That makes her better.

[XCrisX]

Ahhh! I love Yui! she´s one of my top 3 female singers of all time!! she has such a beautiful voice!! My favourite song is Rolling Star as well but I love almost all her songs to death!!

[hideto_matsumoto_RIP]

[CharismaticDeath]

My friend recently got me to listen to her... I'm supprisingly impressed. I'm not a fan of female artists as a general rule, but I have to admit I do like Yui!

[danieru03]

[saiyamar]

I love her songs! Rolling star is my favourite hands down at the moment but i also like LIFE, I Remember You (and the acoustic version) and Winter Hot Music. I really need to listen to more of her music.

[katsumoto]

Yui ......... I love her sooooo much
she is like the sun when it shine
I love her sound ..... she is the BEST

[gerbin]

[werg]

she's my favourite singer! :love:
in fact, most of the jpop songs i listen to are by her!

too bad she's going for a OnE YEAR break from the music industry. thats a really long time!

[Wolfy-chan]

too bad she's going for a OnE YEAR break from the music industry. thats a really long time!

Aww, that was sad to hear! Wiki.theppn says that it's because she wants to re-energize her life. I hope that she'll have a nice rest! 8D
