The band is a sound project headed by Mana, the consummate guitarist and leader of Malice Mizer which is on Indeterminate hiatus. In addition to writting music and lyrics, Mana does all of the computer programming and arrangements for his songs.
Moi dix Mois jump-started its career on March 19th (Mana's birthday) 2002. The group's name is a term coined by Mana. "Moi" means "me" (that is Mana) and "dix Mois" means "10 months" in French. The implied meaning of dix Mois is the birth and the beginning, coming from the 10-month period of human fetal development as an embryo in the mother's womb. Also, number 10 has been given a special connotation by Mana: a combination of "1" representing the start, and "0" implying the potential eternity or infinity
Mana's strikingly electrifying and unprecedented musical creation is the result and the avant-garde, the elegant and the delirious, or the creative and the destructive. It's the exercising of different musical styles adopted according to song types and concepts, and the welcoming of artfully selected guest performers that drive Moi dix Mois to transcend the run-of-the-mill rock band framework.
The one-of-a-kind phantasmagoric world envisioned by Mana and the band is catered through their thrilling and dramatic sympho-rock sound that delivers all its intensity with beauty and sorrow.
