Music video collection of Japanese singer-songwriter YUI. She made her professional debut in 2004 and currently one of the most popular female artists in Japan…

Yui actually received the best newcomer award from Japan Academy Prize, but she didn’t wander much into acting. The movie is the only film she has made so far.
