Through the bands ups and downs his vocalist and drummer were replaced and the band was improved. His Band performed hard rock, with elements of french pop, classical and many other variations in between. His fashion line called " Moi Meme Moitie" was created in October of 1999. Two shops immediately opened in Tokyo and Nagoya. The fashion line stemmed from Mana's admiration of "Lolita". In the December of 2001, his band went on hiatus and then each member parted ways.
He formed a new band on March 19, 2002 called Moi Dix Mois. The name translates into "me ten months". However it has a meaning. "Me" implies Mana. The 1 in 10 months, means the beginning and the 0 in 10 months means infinity. His current band has a sound that is impossible to categorize. In the clothes you see the bands Malice Mizer and Moi Dix Mois , you can clearly see elements of Lolita or just all out Lolita.
