Yui, whose real name is Yoshioka, is a talented Japanese singer-songwriter who went to Hong Kong at the age of 19 for the movie "Song of the Sun". "Goodbye Days", which she composed for the film, became her personal fame song, and she sang the theme songs "life" and "again" for the anime "Death" and "Fullmetal Alchemist".
In 2006, Yui's first album "From Me to You" was a song that tortured the soul, telling fans her true thoughts and experiences. A song called "Why Me" to torture life: "Why Me"; "Feel My Soul", in which she asked herself "What do I want to do"; "Just My Way" told herself "What should I do"; "Tokyo" recorded how a little girl was like to run through the terrible Tokyo.
Although there is a language barrier between us and Yui, music knows no borders. Carefully tasting, you can feel the emotions she wants to express from her songs.
Songs such as "Feel My Soul", "Why Me" and "I Remember You" all have the shadow of Yui's childishness, and also have some of her optimism and momentum. Later her songs slowly began to have power, "Life", "Rolling Star", you can see some of the power of Yui rock. Her slightly hoarse voice, with a little girlishness, and a little juvenile, makes her rock songs very good.
Of course, Yui also has some songs that discuss our generation: "My Generation", and some that celebrate sweet love: "Che.R.Ry". It is said that some Japanese male fans have successfully proposed marriage with "che.r.ry".
A more epoch-making song, 2009 is Yui's comeback song after the first announcement of the cessation of musical activities (retirement) - "again", and it is also the first op of the bloody anime to translate "Fullmetal Alchemist fa". The song is very powerful, and the lyrics are well written, both as a yui fan's understanding of her musical career and confusion, or as a theme song of "Steelfa" to explain the story of the animation. At one point it became a single loop for many people. Whether it was gossip or pressure, she continued to reorganize herself and set off again after a battle of ideas.
After starting again, Yui began to experiment with more diverse music. "hello~paradise kiss~", "green.a.live", "gloria", some are commercial, some are people's livelihood. Caring for the affected people and encouraging the students who are about to face the college entrance examination, Yui began to feel the society.
In 2013, Yui announced the suspension of music activities for the second time. In the meantime, it was revealed that she had panic disorder and was being treated. After a period of silence, she finally updated her recent situation on the Yui small station. She decided to change her name to Yui and formed the flower flower band. She first held several off-site performances before slowly returning to the ground. In April 2015, she married her boyfriend outside the circle and gave birth to twin boys, and in 17 years, she announced her divorce from her husband. In September of the following year, Yui announced that she was married to an ordinary man in his thirties who worked in sports and was pregnant.
Today, yui's name fades from public view, but the band Flower Flower appears. Yui is now all through the flowers in the hair of the new specialty.
I often listen to "Everyday" and "Treasure" repeatedly.
The lead singer is Yui. Her voice is not much different from before, but it feels very different from before. I could tell it was Yui's voice, but it felt like meeting a friend who had gone through a lot of vicissitudes.
Although Yui's childhood has already experienced many things that we have not experienced. After a single-parent family, dropping out of school, working part-time, participating in a music competition, and winning a music competition, he went to Tokyo alone... Her teenage experience is enough, she still does not spare, and has created so many beautiful songs for us. But as people get older, their ideas will really become more and more "mature."
Although the past Yui has experienced a lot, he still believes in the future and sings a lot of powerful songs. I don't know if that was out of her own volition or because of the record label's request for her to create. In short, the former Yui, the song with passion for life, or the emotion of anger. Now the yui of the flower band, look at things more peacefully.
Let's talk about "Everyday", a song with a very flat tone. It's no longer in the category of pop songs. The style has become niche, and it has a more real rock 'n' roll feel. Or rather, the rock and roll of the previous Yui was a bit of punk that was biased towards Lavigne.
"Everyday" is about life is entangled in troubles and difficulties, every day is tired of life, want to rest, wait for me to rest, and then fight with tomorrow. Yui sang very flat, slow and melodious voice, slow rhythm. It's as if there is no climax in the whole song, only a slow narration, and the singer tells it in detail...
Or maybe it's a new Yui, one who belongs to the Band of Flowers, as a mother of four, from a single-parent family, once a single mom, and later to a second love.
"Treasure" is also a song with a relatively flat tone. What started out was a conversation:
"If you die, then my breathing will stop." "Deceitful, huh?"
At first I thought it was a conversation between a lover and a lover, and after listening to the lyrics of the whole song, I realized that it was a song from a mother to a child. In the slow singing, there is full of love. Yui, whom I know, started writing songs for my children. I think when "Mother" came out, she was still a child t_t .
When we accept enough of the ravages of life, we will know what life is every day; when we are parents, we will know what great love is; when we think about all this, we will be kind to life, right?
When we have passed through ten or twenty years, we dare not say what life looks like, but we can always sum up these years. We can always live the way we should be at a certain age.
