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.

目蓋を閉じれば蘇りし空想
時空を操り自在に支配をする
生と死を賭ける未来のsurvival
生を望めば死が
死を悟れば救世が
祈り捧げよ神
戦慄の日は幻
互いの価値を翳して
奪い取れ神の御座(みくら)
拗(ねじ)れた世界の果て
奇跡を超えて呼ぶ奇跡
崇(あが)めよ愚かな堕落の
申し子らよ
滅びは上質甘露の創世記
誰もが欲しがる進化の系統樹は
数多の犠牲で成り立つ carnival
明日を望めば死が
死を躱(かわ)せば生が
祈り届けよ神
神祈りも及ばず
消滅を覆(くつがえ)して
互いの策を読みあい
奪い取れ神の御座(みくら)
排除と犠牲の果て
奇跡を起こし手に入れて
生を望めば死が
死を悟れば救世が
祈り捧げよ神
神祈りに応えず
戦慄の日は幻

The lyrics of "The Creator" by 妖精帝國, describe a world that is in chaos and full of turmoil, but still holds a strong aroma. The singer perceives this world as a figment of their imagination, a place where they can revisit when they close their eyes. The lyrics convey a sense of power and control, with the idea of manipulating space and time and the gamble of life and death. The world that they envision is one that is overseen by a god, one who does not necessarily respond to prayers, and therefore is almost fantasy-like. The world is at the mercy of those who aim to control it, with the ultimate goal of claiming the throne of god.
The song contains a theme of godhood, of striving for something beyond what is tangible, and the pursuit of power. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of obsession and ambition, as well as the importance of being true to oneself.
