Guest of Honor for the nation's largest anime and manga convention held July

Moi dix Mois 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.

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.
Moi dix Mois will electrify concert goers at the nation's largest anime and
manga event over the 4th of July weekend as the 2nd official concert!
