They had an eclectic sound usually described as psychedelic pop-punk. Whilst renowned and highly influential within Japan, it took them 16 years since their formation in 1989 to play a show outside of Japan, performing in New York City in 2005.

Band history:
YURA YURA TEIKOKU was formed in 1989 with vocalist/guitarist Shintaro Sakamoto as leader, bassist Chiyo Kamekawa and a succession of other members. Drummer Ichiro Shibata joined in 1997 to form the current lineup, and the trio soon signed with Midi Records. The band released five studio albums, one live recording album and two greatest hits albums on Midi. In 2005, YURA YURA TEIKOKU signed with Sony Japan and released their ninth studio album, “SWEET SPOT,” and a remix 12-inch,“SOFT DEATH / FRANKIE TEARDROP” (Suicide cover). “SOFT DEATH” was embraced by the dance community, and “SWEET SPOT” was elected one of the best albums of the year in various media in Japan and overseas. The band also released a live album of material from their Midi years titled “na.ma.shi.bi.re.na.ma.me.ma.i,” on New York-based Mesh-Key Records.
