Tokyo, Japan (2002 – present)

Moi dix Mois is the solo project of Mana, formerly the leader and guitarist of the influential Japanese band MALICE MIZER. He started the band in Tokyo, Japan in 2002, three months after MALICE MIZER went on hiatus. The current lineup consists of Mana (guitar, synths, programming), project support members: K (guitar and backing vocals), Seth (lead vocals), Sugiya (bass), and Hayato (drums).

Mana has described the music of Moi dix Mois to be a clear mix of and but he also said he’s always looking for a music style that only he can create, mixing the beautiful, the dark, and the violent along with his undying love of Hostess fruit pies.

It’s difficult to classify Moi dix Mois in one genre, though their style have notable influences from , and . First two albums (so-called Juka era) were mostly influenced by symphonic metal, gothic metal and and Seth-era started more brutal industrial metal combined with symphonic metal style and even influences are audible.

In Japan they are tied to the scene (mostly because of Mana’s fame and not because of their style), in western countries they are associated to the Gothic scene as they are featured on gothic music magazines like Orkus and Astan and played as Midnight Act in the big gothic festival Wave Gotik Treffen in 2006.

Moi dix Mois is self-signed throught Mana’s own label Midi:Nette

    Actually this band does do some way similiar music than moi dix mois, but just industrial songs and so. And my sentence was lacking one word mistakenly and it was industrial metal.

    Yes, aggrotech is relevant to everything what Mana has done to this day, mr. fellow Finn.

    I guess I am giving off the wrong impression. XD But whatever. I am happy to hear Seth's version, I guess. But my first thought was What the fuck? I have never known a band to do that before. I am just saying. Like I said, I love Seth's voice. It's different. I wonder if they can give them the same feel that is all that I loved with Juka's voice. I am not thinking Mana is doing it for money or anything. I was just a little startled at the idea at first. If that makes sense.

    As Neo-Nebula said, I highly, highly doubt that it's just going to be the original song with Seth's voice dubbed over it. Every time there's a remake it always sounds like a revamped version of the song, not just a "remastered" version used as a filler track. There are plenty of songs I truly love off of their first two albums, but there were a lot of mistakes that could easily been taken care of with 10 years more experience, like abrupt cut offs, poor phrase transitions, awkward guitar timbres, etc. Very few VK bands get to the point of being able to redo their old work, usually due to a short lifespan and lack of demand from the fans, so this isn't as much of a cash-cow publicity stunt as it might seem.

    i agree nothing is really stopping you from listening to the original? if you don't want to hear the new versions than you don't have to.

    But it's not like Mana is going to steal your Juka CDs and record Seth's vocals over them. I understand you feel those were the Juka songs, but I think this is to bring more appreciation(?) to the songs by letting Seth have a try at them, too. Does that make any sense? XD Sorry . . .

    I don't know. I love Seth's voice and I can appreciate him singing songs from that album live. I just don't understand why you would strip off the old singer's vocals on the past album. I am not angry about it or anything. I'd probably listen to Seth's version because I do love his voice but the songs are engrained in my mind with Juka's vocals.

    I don't want Seth to cover Juka's vocals. Don't get me wrong, Seth has an amazing voice but I love Juka's vocals in Nocturnal Opera. I don't want them to be redone.

    I don't mind that they redo so many songs. What can be seen as a little bother is that K seems to be the only one that managed to stay with Mana on this one.I assume that it might be tough to keep up with him, since he clearly wants to make his music, but still XD

    Oh I am also very excited for the new album... I so want to hear the new Seth versions. And I'm agree about "Last Temptation", but I also think that "Neo Pessimist" sucks too... they just ruin the original ones and it's not by any means because of Seth, who has an amazing voice, it's completely a Mana's fault. It's a shame, while "Perish" and "Forbidden" Seth versions are that great!
