MOI DIX MOIS APPRECIATION POST

Hey :D
 How are you?
Moi dix Mois is a musical project founded by Japanese musician and fashion designer Mana in 2002 after his previous band,Malice Mizer, paused activities. Their first single, "Dialogue Symphonie", was released in October of the same year.
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 show, Juka left the band. On March 1, 2006, they released the album, Beyond the Gate. This featured a new vocalist named Seth. After that, Kazuno (bass) and Tohru (drums) both left the group.In June 2006, Moi dix Mois headlined the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig, Germany.
A prospective five city tour in the United States was scheduled for July 2006, but cancelled due to the band citing "differences in policies" with the tour organizer; but Mana did make an appearance at the 2006 Anime Expo in Anaheim, CA, and he announced that Moi dix Mois was planning to tour America sometime "within the calendar year" (BTW, the tour didn't materialize in 2006).
On 2007, they released the album, Dixanadu.
On December 27, 2008, Moi dix Mois held the "Dis Inferno Vol.VI ~Last Year Party~", where they played a session gig along with Mana's fellow Malice Mizer guitarist Közi.
They performed at Anime Expo 2009 in LA and July they went on a short 2 gig coupling tour with Közi called "Deep Sanctuary", playing on the 17 in Osaka and the 19 in Tokyo.
At the "V-Rock Festival '09" on October 24, Moi Dix Mois played two new songs, "Dead Scape" and "The Sect", and a new version of "The Prophet".
In July 2010, they went on another tour with Közi, titled "Deep Sanctuary II", this time with Malice Mizer bassist Yu~ki as a special guest at Akasaka Blitz on the 17. This was the first time in 9 years that the 3 Malice Mizer members were on stage together. Moi dix Mois' fifth album, D+Sect, was released on December 15, 2010.
On August 27, 2011, Mana announced that Moi dix Mois will be releasing a compilation album as part of their 10th anniversary celebration.
