Yui - Tokyo

Here's Yui with the beautiful song Tokyo.

Yui's full name is Yui Yoshioka. She dropped out of high school to study guitar and songwriting at a juku (cram school) in Fukuoka. Her career started when she sang at an audition hosted by Sony Music Japan after being recommended by the juku. The rule was that participants could only sing two songs, but the judges gave her the highest scores possible and she was asked to perform a third song. Several record labels scrambled to sign her.
