Her work creates a new musical space that transcends the boundaries of race, nationality, and age. After her husband Mineo passed away in 2024, her soul was transformed. She now creates music with his soul and will continue to sing of eternal love for the rest of her life.
“I become part of that world. I become a vessel for whatever seeks to emerge—something from the spirit, from the universe, or from a place beyond conscious intention.
Whatever comes through me passes through my body, my voice, my memory, and everything I have lived. I do not remain one fixed character, and my voice may change from one song to another. But the sound could not exist in quite the same way without passing through me.
I can become many things through music, yet I cannot be replaced by another voice.”

Eternal Love: My Songs Beyond Life and Death is a deeply personal work by singer, songwriter, recording artist, and producer Yuri Afasia.
The book brings together two inseparable stories: the final illness and death of her husband, Mineo, and the music and art that continued to emerge after his passing.
Yuri writes in detail about Mineo’s battle with cancer, the choices they faced during treatment, the final months they spent together, and the moment of his death in her arms. From there, the book moves beyond grief into faith, memory, spiritual experience, and the belief that love and life do not end with physical death.
Alongside this story, Yuri traces her own journey as an artist — across music, performance, collaboration, and the creation of songs shaped by eternal love, the universe, memory, and the continuation of life.
This is not only a book about loss.
It is a record of love that continued beyond death, and of an artist whose music became part of that continuing bond.
