Japanese singer/songwriter YUI has a rare ability to captivate audiences simply by gently strumming chords on an acoustic guitar. She released her debut From Me To You while still in her teens, and her next four albums cemented her place at the top of the charts. The power in her deceptively simple and unembellished acoustic pop lies in documenting a complex personal journey with tenderness and sincerity, and lush songs heightened by touching stings and keys. But YUI also delivers dynamic settings where she backs her intimate tales with vivid percussion and energy-boosting electric guitars.
