Their music contains elements of electro, EBM, darkwave, neoclassical, ethereal and ambient, with a Gothic style at its core. Their works include the theme songs of the anime shows Mirai Nikki, Magical Pokan, Innocent Venus, Kurokami: The Animation, Seikon no Qwaser,and the Mai-HiME videogame soundtrack. They have released several independent albums and four major release albums with their current publisher Lantis: Gothic Lolita Propaganda, metanoia, Gothic Lolita Doctrine and Gothic Lolita Agitator.

Through music, Yōsei Teikoku is attempting to revive the Fairy Empire that exists between the human world and the spiritual realm known as Spiritua. The purpose of their music is "to make humans remember the pure heart inside them that believes in fairies, forgotten before we knew it". "Gothic" and "empire" are key words in their musical ideas.
Prior to the release of Baptize, Yui and Tachibana were the group's only members. Nanami and Relu have since been added.
