The new Moi-même-Moitié rebooted site is up and it looks really good! Also they are still selling with CDJapan, the new jewelry print socks are there. So hopefully any extra Moi dix Mois goods will make it there also.

I would have expected them to move all of overseas Moi-même-Moitié to WunderWelt. However maybe there is a contract with CDJapan?

I like the style of this one:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOAPP-42607
But are they ever going to make clothes out of actual fabric again? From what I can tell, the new items are all either 100% polyester, or chimeras of various synthetics.

The new website looks better actually xD

This jacket sucks. I tried it at Marui annexe... and, it is over priced! and shapeless. I don't recommend it at all xD

I've only seen that jacket on one person, a woman, and the sleeves were too long. Otherwise looked okay. I bet it would look good on someone that it fit...style is something that might need to be tailored to a person's proportions.

At least Mana is still at the helm of things so can hope we will get some quality items in the future. I still would like that tulle blue rose dress. I get so many compliments on the purse. A size 3 sold at the beginning of the year for $500. So there is definitely a market.

The cell phone cases sold out right away. Maybe if they can make some money from items like that, will give them the ability to also sell some nicer pieces. And give Mana the ability to do that and also keep the EGA line going. I do think it's something he is thinking about based on his tweets.

There is a Moi-même-Moitié flyer available in the Marui KERA shop, I grabbed one but I’m waiting at ReNY now, so I’ll take a photo later.

Sugiya posted an angled photo of it on twitter. It's similar to the revamped website

If you are able to, can you take a look at the new shoulder bag and see what the quality is like? It's the one thing that is tempting me. Much appreciated

I sort of agree with that, BUT, I've just always found it to be very positive that he's done it all himself. Most brands, if not all, use models, but the fact that he's modeled both the EGL and EGA I thought was unique to him.

They're pretty Lo-fi compared to the glory days.

Which shoulder bag are you talking about? The Ornament Table one? I own that and it seems to be pretty good quality, in fact I saw quite a lot of them at the ReNY show.

but the fact that he's modeled both the EGL and EGA I thought was unique to him.

I hope he appears in the EGA line, it will be a sad day if our sweet little Lilac of Damnation withers away.

Anyway, in other news, do you think there will be a Fukubukuro this year? Now that I live in Japan I was considering getting an EGA one and hoping for a coat, but given the sparse offerings on the MmM website I can't really see them being able to fill the bags out enough.

I was wondering about the Moi dix Mois one being sold at the show.

I wasn't sure given this is the Moi-même-Moitié thread. :P

The bag is good, I'd say the material is about on par with the totes, perhaps a bit lighter as it doesn't seem as stiff. It is a bit longer but not as deep. They had them on sale the day after the live at the ESP museum before they went up on the M:N web store.

Of course none of this matters now given that they're sold out. Hopefully they do a restock for the lives next year! Although given how bag-crazy Mana様 has been this year there might be a new design...

I also just noticed that the new Moi-même-Moitié items (chokers, phone cases and sleeping garden pre-order) are all up on CDJapan too. I wonder they will try and keep the pricing more consistent going forwards?

Sometimes it's hard not to talk about Mana's projects separately.

The new socks were also on CDJapan. It could be there is a contract with the company so they have to continue selling MmM there or what is better is that this will continue in conjunction with Moi dix Mois items also being sold there. Two different companies for MmM and MdM but they are all Mana "brands".

Also news is there is a KAMIJO x Hatsune Miko project. He has written a song and PEACH PIT manga artist designed a dress thinking of MmM. So the new MmM company will create the dress. I don't know if it's just for the computer graphics for the song video and maybe concert performance, or if there will be an actually dress made and produced for sale. Interesting concept, no idea how it will go. I know Hatsune Miku has become very popular. I'm reminded of when they used her song for the Black Rock Shooter anime back before she became well known.

Might as well add the illustration for the collaboration since it is out on social media

Kamijo, Mana, and.... Hatsune Miku? :lol:

I dunno, I always thought Hatsune Miku fans were... how do you say... not the target audience for Moitie ::batsu::

I'm thinking that it's more about KAMIJO getting broader attention than the MmM bit. From what Mana wrote KAMIJO came to him with the news he was doing this and offered to have MmM be a part of it.
The dress reminds me more of Peach Pit's Rozen Maiden than any MmM that was made in the past. I'm a little curious what it will look like in real life.

There are a number of female Miku fans. I use to collect some of the less expensive figures and a couple of the Pullip dolls back at the beginning and had a couple cds. But when they started the concert stuff and became hyper commercialized, I moved on. I know she is popular to cosplay too. Although that isn't really the Moitie target audience either.

Although her target audience will buy figures and videos of her wearing the dress...and with the MmM name on products there may be a little money coming in from that...

Oh yeah, can't forget about the doll tie-in. There have been a couple different Pullip Miku, but what is popular right now are the Volks Dollfie Dream dolls. Won't be surprised if there is at least a dress made for those.

Yup it's a little unusual.

I hope the dress isn't like that key art, it looks exceptionally generic and doesn't represent MmM at all.

Don't forget a lot of boneheads think that lolita is cosplay...

Kamijo tweeted a brief animation for this, has a short back story in it, if you pause it to read it. There is going to be a merchandising "Vampire Festival" for the song and Hatsune Miku at Shibuya's Marui from Jan 16th to Jan 30th. Nothing about Moi meme Moitie being there but they did share a tweet about it. Here's a link to the event website if anyone is interested http://www.eternorecit.jp/collabo/anime-game/201711-miku-vamfes.html

It's about the merchandising more than anything with this. At least if Mana is able to make a bit of money from it, gets Moitie a bit of advertising, so he can do more with Moi dix Mois, then I'm okay with it.
