Part of Team Fairithm, the band previously consisted of just vocalist and lyricist Yui with guitarist and composer Takaha Tachibana. The band has since included bass player Nanami, drummer Gight, and lead guitarist Shiren to their line up.

The group has been active since 1996 and has done its rounds around the doujinshi/indies music circuit. Its earliest releases are very hard to find. It did however, gain exposure from 2005 onwards with the release of its album Stigma and has since gained popularity through the use of its music in various media.

Yousei Teikoku's sound is very German, gothic and industrial. Yousei Teikoku merges heavy guitars and fantastical story telling. Yui's voice is not the typical growling associated with metal/hard rock, she carries an ethereal and siren-like quality as she flits gracefully through Tachibana's compositions. Their music combines elements of electronic, ambient, heavy rock, neoclassical, gothic, industrial and anison.

When she's not being Fairy Yui and claiming to be 4325 years old, Yousei Yui (Yui Itsuki in the real world) is a voice actor and a massive nerd. She has three computers - one of which she built, coded her personal website and Yousei Teikoku's website and voraciously on top of technology and massive video game player.

The other members of Yousei Teikoku have nominated Yui to be the frontwoman of the band so that they can get on with their job of composing music. Plus even from the group's early days, Takaha Tachibana was always secretive that during lives, he would intentionally play from the back of the stage rather than stand beside Yui. Team Fairithm, the production group behind Yousei Teikoku have always been veiled in secrecy - however there is no doubt that Takaha and Yui are part of the team and take a hands on role with their music.

They released several independent albums before signing with their current publisher Lantis circa 2006. With Lantis they have released 5 full albums and 15 singles, as well as several anime/video game theme songs and soundtracks.

Dea x Crisis
妖精帝國 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

無限で満たした虚勢を射る力は
無慈悲な闇から痛みを継ぐ

稚拙な日々の波が
剥がれ出ずる異形の死の女神

その命をその怒りを
破壊の魑魅に憑かれたcrisis trance

気丈に耐え力に変え
すべての意志が加速を遂げた
Dea × Crisis ＝ Trance

非情を示唆した内なる無の波動は
愉悦に転じて天を絶つ

たなびく優雅な髪が
神を救う一途な供物なれ

その意識をその痛みを
堪(こら)えた悦にひれ伏す crisis trance
突き放した弱き総身に
あらゆる意志が乱れて巡る
Dea × Crisis ＝ Trance

その瞳にその光に
応えて救う最後のfighring chance
Crisis trance！
その命をその怒りを
破壊の魑魅に憑かれたcrisis trance
気丈に耐え力に変え
すべての意志が加速を遂げた
Dea × Crisis ＝ Trance
Dea × Crisis ＝ Trance
≠Balance

萌え出ずる
朝のように

偽りのない
精神(こころ)で

Overall Meaning

The first verse speaks of the destructive force of overwhelming arrogance, propelled by a merciless darkness that leads to pain. The second verse personifies death as a goddess, taking on a monstrous form that emerges from the chaos of the mundane world. The chorus reflects the transformative power of crisis, as the pain and anger associated with destruction become a fuel for strength and heightened willpower. The second half of the song speaks of the inner void that suggests inhumanity, but also the possibility of transformation through joy and self-surrender.

Overall, the lyrics to "Dea x Crisis" evoke a sense of the interplay between darkness and light, chaos and order, and the potential for personal transformation through crisis. The song and its lyrics offer a powerful reflection on the human condition and the potential for growth and renewal in the face of adversity.
