Information

Gifted with piano talent, Makino Yui learns to play piano since the age of 4. She also played piano for Iwao Shunji films' All About Lily Chou Chou, LOVE LETTER and Hana to Alice until 17 year-old.

In 2005, she debuted both as a singer and seiyuu by singing "Onma Magni", Sousei no Aquarion's first ending theme and voicing the main character Sakura in Tsubasa Chronicle. Even though "Onma Magni" is her first song and is produced by popular composer Kanno Yoko, it was coupled with AKINO's single "Go Tight!". In August 2005, Makino released her debut single "Amrita", Tsubasa Chronicle Torikago no Kuni no Himegimi movie's ending theme. The B-side, "you are my love" was produced by Kajiura Yuki, marking her one of few artists who has collaborated with both Kajiura Yuki and Kanno Yoko. Her sixth single, "synchronicity" also has a tie-in with Tsubasa Chronicle series and was produced by Kajiura.

Not only known for her contribution for Tsubasa Chronicle series, Makino is also known for her performances in ARIA series. Even though she did not have a major role in the series, her songs for ARIA were popular among anime fans. Her three singles with ARIA: Undine, Euforia and Spirale are currently her best selling singles.

In March 2008, Makino graduated from Tokyo College of Music's piano department and released her second album Makino Yui..
