My Short Stories (2008–Present)
Yui's latest compilation album,My Short Stories, released 12 November 2008, again charted at number 1 on Oricon, featuring the B-Sides from all her past singles (Feel My Soul to Summer Song), along with new song "I'll Be".
Yui is only the second female artist whose B-side compilation album topped the charts, after Seiko Matsuda's "Touch Me" in 1984. The last compilation album that reached number 1 was Mr. Children's B-Side, on 21 May 2007. Due to the success of "My Short Stories", sales of her first album From Me to You rose again. In her 29 August 2008 "Yui Diary" blog entry, Yui mentioned that she will take a break for a while from all public appearances after this new album to re-energize herself. With this break, she will be able to fully concentrate on next year's song production. During this break, she contributed a song, "I Do It" to an Okinawan girl band Stereopony. It will be released as their third single and a theme song of a popular anime, Bleach on April 22, 2009 and as chaku uta on March 18, 2009.
