Related Artists

In one way or another, these artists have collaborated with members of Moi dix Mois.

MALICE MIZER

MALICE MIZER MALICE MIZER was a very prominent visual kei band in the 1990's that Mana led. Throughout all the changes in band members, Mana was always a part of it (and the main composer to boot). After Gackt's decision to go solo and Kami's death, the band was never really the same, and eventually broke up in 2001. MALICE MIZER was well known for their ridiculous but elaborate costumes (especially the ones inspired by medieval times that were worn in the Gackt era) and their live performances.

Juka

Juka Juka was Moi dix Mois' original vocalist for the period between 2002 and 2005 before he left in pursuit of a solo career, producing Dialogue Symphonie, Dix infernal, Shadows Temple, NOCTURNAL OPERA and Pageant with Mana before his departure. He cited musical differences as his reason for leaving the band. He has since performed with HIZAKI grace project as a vocalist, and also participated in Node of Scherzo as a representation of darkness with other notable visual kei artists such as Kaya, HIZAKI and KAMIJO.

Kanon Wakeshima (分島花音)

Kanon Wakeshima Kanon Wakeshima is a solo female vocalist and cellist, probably most well known for her single that was featured on Vampire Knight, "still doll". As a result of his interest in working with a female vocalist (especially one who plays a classical instrument and is caught in the fray between childhood and adulthood), Mana elected to compose and produce her music. Tracks like "Monochrome frame" and "真紅のフェータリズム" (Shinku no Fatalism) sound similar to music produced for Moi dix Mois and MALICE MIZER.

Schwarz Stein

Kanon Wakeshima Schwarz Stein was a duo composed of Hora and Kaya that produced music that was more or less in the electronic and darkwave genres. They were signed to Mana's label, Midi:Nette, and broke up after working together for two years in 2004, citing musical differences as the reason. They've come together to collaborate on several of Kaya's solo projects and even performed as a new project, another cell, since the initial split. Currently, both are mostly involved in their own solo efforts.
