Malice Mizer was a Japanese band in the visual kei music scene, active from August 1992 to December 2001. ...
Musical style Moi dix Mois' sound is somewhat similar to that of the later works of Malice Mizer, incorporating pipe organ and harpsichord, electric guitar, operatic male (and female) vocals and fast, heavy drumming. Whereas Malice Mizer was widely considered to be the archetypal visual kei band, Mana incorporated the sound of heavy metal into his new project, creating a mixture of the two.[1] In particular, he has stated that he was influenced by such bands as Slayer and Mötley Crüe. In keeping with the concept of a solo project, Mana's lyrics for Moi dix Mois are more personal than those he has written for Malice Mizer, veering between melancholy romanticism and deep depression.

History On October 19, 2002, approximately ten months after the breakup of Malice Mizer, Mana announced the formation of his solo project, Moi dix Mois. Their first single, Dialogue Symphonie, was released a month later. Apart from playing guitar, Mana composes all of Moi dix Mois' music, writes the lyrics, arranges, produces, designs the stage costumes and acts as overall artistic director. In contrast to Mana's previous bands, Moi dix Mois is explicitly billed as Mana's solo project; while the project members have input during the performance and recording of the music, Mana essentially determines the band's artistic direction on his own. All of Moi dix Mois' music is released via Mana's own independent record label, Midi:Nette. October 19 is the 292nd day of the year (293rd in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar. ...

An independent record label is variously described as a record label operating without the funding (or outside the organizations) of the major record labels, and/or a label that subscribes to indie philosophies such as DIY and anti-corporate art. ...
Almost nothing is known about the other "project members" prior to their joining Moi dix Mois, except that Tohru used to be a drummer with JILS, and K was a guitarist with Grand Zero under the name Takeru(建).
The band name, which translates as "Me ten months" in French, has special meaning to Mana. "Moi" stands for his debut as a solo artist. "Dix" stands for the number 10 and while 1 symbolizes the beginning of something, 0 means something similar to "eternity". "Dix Mois", again, means "10 months", the average time a baby grows inside its mother's womb before being born (the Japanese count the duration of a pregnancy as 10 lunar months), as well as the ten months between the breakup of Malice Mizer and the birth of Moi dix Mois.
Moi dix Mois played their first concerts outside Japan in March 2005 in Munich, Germany and Paris, France as part of their "Invite to Immorality Tour". After the tour's final engagement on 24 April 2005 in Tokyo, singer Juka left the band; a hiatus of several months followed.
