Yousei Teikoku, often stylized as Yōsei Teikoku and sometimes known as Das Feenreich, is a Japanese musical unit that describes their style as "gothic Lolita and dark fantasy music." The group was formed in 1997 and is led by vocalist Yui Itsuki, also known for her voice acting career, and guitarist and composer Takaha Tachibana. Over the years, their work has been characterized by a fusion of heavy metal, classical, and industrial influences, coupled with a unique theatrical and otherworldly aesthetic.

Yousei Teikoku has built a dedicated fanbase through their involvement with anime soundtracks, where their evocative themes and dramatic compositions resonate with audiences. The band's discography weaves a narrative that draws from fantasy and the supernatural, with albums such as "the age of villains," "PAX VESANIA," and "Hades: The other world" showcasing their signature blend of epic musical storytelling. Their songs often feature lyrical themes centered around the idea of a fairy empire, with an underlying story of rebellion and a quest for awakening. Singles like "Mischievous of Alice" from the anime "Yumekui Merry" and "filament" from the anime "Mirai Nikki" illustrate their strong connection to the world of anime music, while "Baptize" and "rebellion anthem" demonstrate their broader appeal to the J-Rock and Japanese alternative music scenes.
