Hi guys,

I'd like to make a list of artists who inspired Yui or any other artists and bands Yui mentions in her interviews or in her blog.

Pet Shop Boys (she mentioned them in Pati Pati magazine in october 2007)
The Cardigans (their song "Carnival" is her ringtone; Interview on Music.jp in april 2008)
The Beatles (well... obvious...)
Avril Lavigne (she says the she admires her because she's very successful allthough she's not older then her; unfortunaly I can't remember when she mentioned that @@ )
Michelle Branch (Yui sings "Goodbye to you" at her concerts sometimes)
Hitomi Yaida (it's the first cd she ever bought)

Now it's your turn: d'you know any other artist :good

What i Know John Mayer is also one of the artist who inspire YUI
I think it was being mention in SG I-Weekly

Maybe Bob Dylan, YUI was posing with his book in Tower Magazine.

Alanis Morissette from YUI Locks! ^_^

check Atheon's blog for a full list, haha

I find it really cool how I used to listen to the same artists as YUI when I was younger. Ahh, I understand how YUI felt when she was inspired by Avril Lavigne's and Michelle Branch's music because I was also inspired by them. There's like a immense feeling of joy...big connection with YUI in a way. :suki

Eric Clapton was mentioned too in depyon's translations thread..
