Moi dix Mois' sound is somewhat similar to that of the later works of Malice Mizer: galloping pipe organ and harpsichord, electric guitar, operatic male (and female) vocals and fast, heavy drumming are blended together to create an intricate, fresh and very energetic sound somewhere between Neo-classical_metal and Gothic Metal. In keeping with the concept of a solo project, Mana's lyrics for Moi dix Mois are more personal (and darker) than those he has written for Malice Mizer, veering between melancholy romanticism and deep depression and despair.

On March 19, 2002, approximately three months after the breakup of Malice Mizer, Mana announced the formation of his solo project, Moi dix Mois. Apart from playing guitar, Mana composes all of Moi dix Mois' music, writes the lyrics, arranges, produces, designs the stage costumes and acts as overall artistic director. In contrast to Mana's previous bands, Moi dix Mois is explicitly billed as Mana's solo project; while the project members have input during the performance and recording of the music, Mana essentially determines the band's artistic direction on his own. All of Moi dix Mois' music is released via Mana's own Indie music label, Midi:Nette.
