YUI to go into second suspension of her music career

Singer-songwriter YUI announced on her official site on 19 November 2012 that she will be suspending her music career activities for an undecided period of time by the end of the year. In her statement, YUI said that she has found something that she would like to challenge and the period of rest will help her to prepare for that.

Since her debut in February 2005, this is her 2nd self-imposed suspension of her career. The first time was in August 2008 where she abstained from public appearances and performances so as to concentrate on writing her songs. She returned to singing in June 2009 and scored her bestselling single "again" with 111,000 copies sold.

YUI is expected to perform in TV Asahi's Music Station on 23 November and talk about her decision during the program.
