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.

妖精帝國 Lyrics

讃えよ荘厳なる
殉國末裔
幻想幻覚限界無限の回帰
人は諭す
虚飾の笑み擬装の瞳で
調律の世界は
思想を置き去るだろう
唄え、革命の詩を
反逆の殉教者たちよ
戒律を踏み破れ

救世の地はまだ遠い
「ならば進み続けよ」
世界欺瞞虚栄虚言喝采
Vanish! 欺瞞虚栄虚言一切

甦れ遙かなる
賢聖の遺志よ
永劫永遠永世無言の正義
人は諭す
調和と秩序の重きを
異端は排されて
思想は消え去るだろう
唄え、擾乱の詩を
反逆の殉教者たちよ
戒律を踏み破れ
沈黙は美徳ではない
「ならばすべて曝けよ」
世界欺瞞虚栄虚言喝采
Vanish! 欺瞞虚栄虚言一切

纏りし呪言の渦総て解き放して
還れ原初の光の中へ
今世界が始まる
同志諸君。
諸君らの歌声は
暗闇に響く軋みにかき消された。
しかし我らが堪えたあの暗闇は
鐘の音と共に明けるだろう。
さぁ唄え擾乱の詩を!
さぁ唄え革命の詩を!
欺瞞、虚栄、
偽りで飾られたこの常闇を
我らが唄で焼き尽くして見せよう!
さぁ、征こうか。
唄え、革命の詩を
反逆の殉教者たちよ
戒律を踏み破れ
救世の地はもう近い
「ならば共に闘え」
世界欺瞞虚栄虚言喝采
Vanish! 欺瞞虚栄虚言一切
世界欺瞞虚栄虚言喝采
Vanish! 欺瞞虚栄虚言一切
