[Edit this paragraph] Work experience

Since choosing to study music, YUI has started to learn more about guitar solo. When living in the street, put music on the guitar box and play songs like "It's a happy line" and "I know". Also performing in LiFe House, related to the Conservatory of Music. In March 2004, she participated in the SD auditions of Sony Music, and YUI became one of the remaining 10 people out of about 20,000 contestants. In the formal selection, the judges were impressed by the way she played original songs cross-legged and acoustic guitar. Get the highest evaluation in the audience. Two songs were played, and the judges said to listen to the third song, and then they all gave the highest scores. After the selection, the brands of Sony Music Group scrambled to grab YUI, and then decided the debut date. Later, YUI left her hometown with a guitar and a pet and began to write Feel My Soul. This song attracted the producer of Fuji TV and personally visited the recording studio. This accidental opportunity made her song the theme song of the TV series "Unpleasant Genes". The performance of PV and the song named "The Piano Sound of Angels" became the topic of discussion.

After his debut, although he will appear on TV media such as PV, he still likes to sing live on the street as long as he has the opportunity to return to his hometown. However, YUI was outstanding, but extremely unpopular, with only 50 spectators gathered at the rock in FES2005 in Japan. It was not very popular when it first debuted, but it was well known because its song "Rolling Star" became the fifth opening song of the animation series "Death" and took over the movie "Song of the Sun".

[Edit this paragraph] and the growth of music

First contact with music

"Music is something I can't live without"-"Feel my soul"

Hello, I'm YUI. From this week until my first single "Feel My Soul" came out. Maybe once a week? In order to let people know me better, I want to introduce myself in six sections. The first time was "Meeting Music".

As for me, influenced by my mother, I like singing very much since I was a child. In my mother's car, there is a tune playing on the stereo. I will keep listening to that song unless I completely remember it. In the car, in my room, on the way to and from school, in the bathtub, I even asked my mother to yell at me "it's so noisy" because singing is everywhere.

After that, I felt that it was also influenced by my mother. I started to keep a diary from the third grade of middle school and tried to write poetry. I wrote down things like "accidentally captured" in my notebook, and now it has accumulated to the extent of occupying a column on the bookshelf.

So until one day, because I wanted to listen to more kinds of music, I started to go to the CD shop. Although I really want to buy it, because my pocket money is not so abundant, I often get into the audition machine and listen to it over and over again, forgetting to sing new songs. At that time, I listened to Avril Ramona Lavigne's first album.

Before that, because I almost only listened to "classical music", which is very different from the music I listen to now, I was greatly shocked when I learned that such excellent music was composed by people my age.

Thus, the idea of "I want to compose my own music and play my own guitar" came into being. This is a strong desire that cannot be suppressed. "I want to advance on the road of music", but what should I do in practice? How can I become a musician? I know nothing about it. .....

Set foot on the road of music for the second time

Hello, I'm YUI. "Unhappy Genes" finally started broadcasting. When I received the feeling of "seeing" in BBS, I was very happy. Anyway, this week I want to talk about the process from desire to "formal road to music"

Although the desire to "advance on the road of music" is strong, you can't concentrate on music when you enter high school. If I give up ... I did say to myself that "the road to music is impossible for me". However, when I was in the hospital, I could stare at my heart again, and I made up my mind, "Sure enough, I still want to be out of tune.

After that, I dropped out of high school and decided to study music. On a confused day when I didn't know what to do, I came to the god (place name) in the sky. There are many people performing in the street here. Among them, there is a live performance by a strike band. After watching it for a while, I boldly said, "What should I do to move towards music?" The people in the band were not surprised by my sudden shout. They said to me gently and seriously, "There is a music classroom where I can learn composition and guitar." Then, I miraculously walked into the music classroom-pronunciation.

Here, I began to learn a guitar that I had never touched before. I gradually began to master it, from playing the guitar to composing music and lyrics. As soon as I got home, I kept practicing my guitar. In the evening, in order not to disturb my neighbors, I go outside to play. I also had the experience of singing in front of the rolling gate of the workshop and being scolded. If there is no place for people ... the ocean of the new palace and the field roads of Fu Shang. Go by bike (the shooting of the single "It's Happy Line" just ended here). Even now, I love this place. This is where I sing. It makes me feel very relaxed.

The third communication with others

Hello, everyone, I'm yui .. 65438+1October 17. During the broadcast of Unhappy Gene, I went to various counties in Kyushu for the promotion of the single "IT'S HAPPY LINE" released on February 23rd and the first single "FEEL MY SOUL". Although it is also Kyushu, it is the first time to go there, so I am a little nervous.

Well, I want to continue this week after entering the music classroom.

The music classroom has an atmosphere of "people around are seriously pursuing music". It's not the same as studying at school. People here have their own clear goals and work hard for them. Therefore, I often say to myself, "I must redouble my efforts."

What I have learned here is not only guitar, lyrics, composition and other music-related things, but also "people-oriented"-trusting others, and it is precisely because I believe that I can communicate honestly with others that I can have a considerate and grateful heart. I only think about my own problems and don't trust others. Many things I have experienced here have sobered me up and changed me. . Sound is really irreplaceable to me. I really feel the real "gentleness" here. It is said that in order to cultivate my typhoon, I am often placed in the front row when I perform live in a senior band. I can't tell you how much care I have received.

My first live performance was in the first row of Senior Street. My seniors helped me play the guitar and sing, while I sang Michelle's Goodbye. The first time I stood on the stage of LIVEHOUSE, I sang my first song "Why Me". It was different from street performances at that time. Although I was a little nervous, I felt full and super cool after singing.

The lyrics of IT'S HAPPY LINE created next are always poorly written. It was not until the day before I decided to make LIVE public for the first time that I finally wrote paragraphs A and B, but I still had to stand on the stage without an ending. I still remember singing the ending in English on the stage. (Nana)

Although I think I will meet more people in the future, the people I met in Fukuoka's voice music classroom are all particularly important people, which have influenced my life. Moreover, as soon as I returned to Fukuoka, I continued my street singing (moving) in the same place where my predecessors and I formally studied music and practiced.

"Don't forget your origins"-this sentence is also true. I think if I don't go to VOICE, I may not understand.

Fourth appearance

Hello, I'm YUI. My first single

So, this time, I want to talk about the music audition that prompted me to debut. When I was studying in the music classroom last year, I participated in the SD audition of Sony music with the encouragement of my teacher. The exam is divided into several parts, starting with sending tapes, then trying sound stage, talking and singing in front of the video recorder, and the last venue is Sony Building in Kimsaka, Tokyo.

The theme is>.

I remember there were 10 contestants. Later, I learned that the original players seemed to have about 20 thousand, and I didn't even think about it. I came to Tokyo from Fukuoka in order to participate in the selection. It was my "first trip to Tokyo" and my "first flight". I have never left Fukuoka.

As the time for performing on stage approached, I was a little nervous, but I said to myself, "Anyway, do your best." .

There are two songs to sing in the final selection. I sang the first song and the second song I wrote.

As for the other contestants, they all stood on the microphone on the table and sang. I play with them alone and sing alone, so I want to sing in the same posture as usual. I think it's more like myself. It's a posture I'm used to, so it's more natural to sing. I sat on the ground, plucked the strings in my hand, played the strings, and then sang. This is the way of street life. I have been learning guitar at home and in the nearby field path since I started to learn guitar.

It's finally my turn to play. After introducing myself to the judges, I sat in the center of the stage, took a breath and began to sing.

After this audition, I evaluated my promotion with the highest score among all the judges, and then I went to Tokyo to become an official singer. I know that I successfully showed my true self that day.

The feeling of debut for the fifth time

On February 23rd, 2005, YUI's single Feel My Soul was officially released. This song was written in Fukuoka before she came to Tokyo, and it was recorded in the video for performance. This song is not considered as a single. After the audition, fortunately, the TV drama manager of a TV station also heard this song and was chosen as the theme song of the TV series. I decided to release it. The debut song of the new singer is also the theme song of the TV series, which is not very common. At that time, whenever someone asked me how I felt, I said, "It's amazing." Although I felt a little like this, I didn't really feel it at first.

From the moment it was decided to be the theme song, the previously written "Feel My Soul" was slightly modified to combine the style of the TV series. Because it is the first time to arrange music, I think it is also a new challenge for me. I added some melodies and changed the lyrics, and at the same time, there were many more samples. When I finally decided, I met with the producer. Because I brought my guitar that day, and then I played it for everyone on the spot. This is my feeling. Then, after a long period of various exchanges and discussions, the melody was almost perfect before it was finally determined.

Before the release of the CD, the TV series with the theme song "Feel My Soul" had been broadcast in January. When I heard my song playing on TV, I really had an incredible feeling. That's a kind of realism that I can't feel. In short, TV plays and songs kind of want to combine them. It didn't seem realistic at first. But people who watch TV dramas are savoring yui's songs. Because the release of songs and TV series are in the same period, plus interviews and a series of activities, it gradually has a strong sense of reality. Compared with previous magazine interviews and a series of activities, it has changed a lot. I took time out, and then I quickly wrote and recorded the song. At first, I was so nervous that I didn't know how to speak. I have nothing to say (hey hey!

Because I want to audition songs for you, YUI is coming to Tokyo for the first time. The activity went to many places, and it was really the first place I had been. The layout structure is very fine and beautiful. After all, it is a big city, and all places can feel very individual and have a unique atmosphere. However, I don't think it is a real place. Every day's activities are full. So there is no way to have a fixed residence. Only famous snacks can make people feel that it is a city. After the activity, the diary is basically eaten. "I ate a famous dish in Nagoya today ..." and so on. That's probably it (hehe). Who told me that there are so many foods that can impress me? There is also roast beef tongue in Sendai. Ah, Morioka also has unique buckwheat. Is there soba noodles now? Really "enough" can't help but think, but I still didn't eat.

Every time I first step into a place, I feel very excited. Through publicity activities, I went to many places, felt a different atmosphere, met many people, and broadened my horizons and increased my knowledge. So vast (hehe). Although it's my first time in Northeast China, I've seen the widest place in Japan! The first publicity campaign was fruitful, followed by song tapes, and my performance in live music programs gained even more. I still remember today's performance. When I walked onto the stage, I thought, "Ah, this scene is playing on TV." I keep telling myself to calm down, but I'm still nervous. My hands were shaking when I went to get water to drink between songs. Being on TV really feels like a dream.

Although I said I felt nervous, the yui I saw in the picture didn't make people feel that it was the first time to go on stage, and completely showed my true side to everyone. I am very happy to sit cross-legged while playing and singing, with such self-expression. The friends who watched the program were deeply impressed by Sitting Cross-legged and had a lot of responses. After the announcement of their debut, publicity activities and TV performances, YUI has a new concept and redefines her idea of becoming a professional singer. After the release of "Feel My Soul", she returned to Fukuoka, which had been released by the radio station, and gave a live performance on the street. When she heard the song, many people stopped to listen attentively. Then more and more people listened. From then on, I immediately had a very real feeling.

My sixth "music"

2005 is the year when I started another brand-new journey. During this year, I learned a lot of music expression methods. Then the single "Feel My Soul" was released, and "The Road to Tomorrow" was also released on June 22nd, 2005. "Feel My Soul" was selected as the theme song of TV series, and this time it was selected as the theme song of the movie "HINOKIO".

When I was told that I had been chosen as the theme song of the movie, I felt that the music had not really entered the movie. After seeing that picture, I felt that "I really want to make a song with this atmosphere" and "I want to try to write a song with this feeling" came to my mind. Because I had to keep in touch with the content of the film, I tried many times until I felt good. According to the framework of my own ideas, I added orchestral instruments.

In the first half of 2005, YUI gained many new experiences. In the second half of 2005, he experienced many things and gained many experiences. Among them, she starred in the most famous outdoor activity in Japan "Rockin Japan YUI.2005". From August 7th, a total of ***3 days, YUI is the fourth appearance of "Voice of the Forest". I sang six songs, Why Me, Feel My Soul, It's a Happy Line, The Swing of Tomorrow, Life and Just My Way. I feel really great on stage. Although it is not like a summer festival, I have imagined it as a "real rock festival". So, I want to rock like summer.

In June165438+1October, Life released at the music festival was released in the form of the third single. With the release, there is a school anniversary performance. YUI had a very special and unusual summer. I haven't experienced the experience of celebrating the school myself. I'm really looking forward to it. Performing live in the gymnasium is really a unique feeling, which is different from other stages. For students, this is a very important day at school, so I want to leave some memories, and good memories. I think they will be very enthusiastic. Oh, by the way, roaming on the roof is also very interesting.

The second half of 2005 is as full as the first half. As an artist, the status of performers has begun to become a driving force. 2005 is a new starting point for my life. This is a very memorable year. This year, I became more fond of expressing myself and learned many ways to express myself. In five years or 65,438+00 years, as long as.

In 2006, the single "Tokyo" was released on June 5438+10, followed by the first album "From Me to You" in February. If 2005 is the beginning, then 2006 is the year when yui leaps forward. On the basis of last year, we saw a more different YUI. It's really good to release an album. Just listen to it. Very, very much looking forward to it. The idea of "always looking forward" has been around since 2005. I will seize the opportunity of every performance and be ready to challenge any difficulties.

In June, the movie "Song of the Sun" starring myself will be released. This should be the "opportunity" and "challenge" mentioned by YUI above. I was really surprised when I actually appeared in the movie. However, since the plot is to play a musician and what he can perform according to his feelings, I will act with this idea. Acting is different from music, really. It's not music, but it's also very interesting. I have many feelings from reciting lines, shooting and the result of our joint efforts. The experience of making movies has also had a good influence on my music. It will have an impact on the music inside this album and later.

Experience day after day, absorb the nutrients in the middle and grow constantly. /kloc-the experience accumulated slowly in 0/8 years constitutes the unique style of YUI now. I want to keep the music going. Then, I studied a lot myself and adopted a lot. After 5 years or 10 years, my music quality can be very, very good. Learn more about my favorite music so that I can

Regarding the concept of music, I want to convey some ideas to people through singing and embed them into feelings. As an artist, YUI really has her own unique style. However, this is not her absolute style. March 26th is her 19 birthday. When she was growing up, her songs and concerts developed in the same way. Her brilliant musical life journey has just begun. ...
