FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MOI DIX MOIS TO ROCK ANIME EXPO® 2009 AS OFFICIAL GUEST OF HONOR

Malice Mizer Front Man, Mana, to Attend Nation¹s Largest Anime and Manga Convention

Anaheim, California (June 17, 2009) ‹ Visual kei fans get ready for a musical explosion as Moi dix Mois rocks Anime Expo® 2009 as an official Guest of Honor for the nation¹s largest anime and manga convention held July 2-5, 2009 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. More information can be found on the website www.anime-expo.org.

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. Mana¹s 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 (Mana¹s birthday), 2002.
The group¹s name is a term coined by Mana. ŒMoi¹ means Œme¹ (that is Mana), and Œdix Mois¹ means Œ10 months¹ 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 mother¹s womb. Also, number 10 has been given a special connotation by Mana; a combination of Œ1¹ representing the start, and Œ0¹ implying the potential eternity or infinity.

Moi dix Mois will electrify concert goers at the nation¹s largest anime and manga event over the 4th of July weekend as the 2nd official concert!

Moi dix Mois joins other Anime Expo® 2009 Official Guests of Honor Hiroyuki Imaishi, Daisuke Ishiwatari, Yun Kouga, Yosuke Kuroda, Toshimichi Mori, Toshiyuki Morikawa, Morning Musume, Yasuhiro Nightow, Atsushi Nishigori, Satoshi Nishimura, Takashi Okazaki and Kari Wahlgren.

Attendees, Press and Industry Members are also encouraged to view the video coverage site of the 2008 convention at www.axbackstage.org.
