After graduating high school, Yasuda decided to pursue a full-time music career in spite of advice given to her to attend university instead.{{cite web |last1=Yoshioka |first1=Riho |title=J-WAVE NEWS |url=https://www.j-wave.co.jp/blog/news/2018/09/916-2.html |website=J-Wave |date=September 25, 2018 |access-date=27 September 2018 |language=ja}} In 2013, Yasuda changed agencies and debuted as a solo singer under Sony Records with her Japanese name, Rei Yasuda,{{cite web | url=http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/artist/yasudarei/ | title=安田レイ | work=Sony Records | date=2013-12-05 | access-date=2014-11-06}} debuting with "Best of My Love", which served as the ending theme to Space Battleship Yamato 2199. Unlike Genki Rockets, the song's music video was shot on location instead of a green screen. In its music video, the UFO came to the world where the civilization hasn't been developed, which Yasuda found that that contrast is interesting. Kenji Tamai, who Yasuda worked with in Genki Rockets, helped produce and prepare for her solo debut after her high school graduation.{{cite web |title=安田レイ×玉井健二「Best of my Love」対談 (1/4) - 音楽ナタリー 特集・インタビュー |url=https://natalie.mu/music/pp/yasudarei |website=音楽ナタリー |access-date=10 August 2018 |language=ja}}{{cite web |last1=Miho |first1=Fujii |title=安田レイが届ける、"意志"と"決意"を込めた『Will』 |url=https://www.m-on-music.jp/0000092278/ |website=音楽WEBメディア M-ON!
