Moi dix Mois

Moi dix Mois jump-started its career on March 19 (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.

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 writing music and lyrics, Mana does all of the computer programming and arrangements for his songs. Mana’s strikingly electrifying and unprecedented musical creation is the result of his remarkable talent to combine the diametrical opposites, such as the classical and the avant-garde, the elegant and the delirious, or the creative and the destructive.
