Although the fashions sported by the alternative crowd in Harajuku (Tokyo's equivalent of Camden) were largely inspired by the Western goth movement, J-goths tend to enter this subculture via different roots: either anime "cosplay" or through Japan's own alternative music scene: visual kei. This style has recently come full circle, with Westerners now borrowing fashion elements from the Japanese. The most popular and distinctive of these is undoubtedly the "Gothic Lolita" look, which has now become a part of the Western gothic spectrum.

Moi dix Mois Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nani mo ka mo sute sari ochite yuke doko made mo
Sen no koe mai kurue koyoi azayaka ni
Taiyou wa sari yuki yamiyo ni
Shikkoku no bi to tomo ni irodoreyo doko made mo
Sen no toge tsukisashita sora ni kiete yuku
Tenshi no hane wa iroase hajimete no kotoba wo
Mezame wa huri sosogu
Sou hane no kioku no ne
Zetsubou wa kie use koukotsu ni
Shikkoku no bi to tomo ni irodore yo doko made mo
Sen no koe narihibiku sora ni kiete yuku
Tenshi no hane wa iroase hajimete no kotoba wo
Mezame wa huri sosogu
Sou hane no kioku no
Tenshi no hane wa ima kageru toki no kanata e
Tenshi no hane wa ima hajimete no kotoba wo
Mezame wa huri sosogu
Sou hane no kioku no ne
The lyrics of Moi dix Mois's song Ange convey a theme of darkness, desire and freedom. The opening line "Ima subete wo kuruwase midara ni" translates to "Now make everything go crazy, everything is indecent", setting the tone for a menacing and seductive mood. The singer is yearning for release from societal constraints, suggesting that everything they have held on to must be abandoned in order to attain true freedom. The repetition of "doko made mo" reinforces the idea of limitless, boundless pursuit of something unknown, something greater.
The next few lines imply a struggle between light and dark, using the metaphor of the sun and night. The phrase "Taiyou wa sari yuki yamiyo ni" talks about how the sun is fading into the darkness, as it is being colored by the all-encompassing blackness. The darkness is personified as black flames, which is implied in the line "Shikkoku no bi to tomo ni irodoreyo", meaning "color the black flame". The endless sky is pierced by one million thorns in a simile that describes the entrapment of the soul.
The chorus brings in the element of angel's wings, which change color at the start of their journey, their awakening. "Tenshi no hane wa iroase hajimete no kotoba wo" translates to "Angel's wings begin to fade their first words. Awakening pours down like rain." The idea of a memory of wings and their whispers conveys a sense of beginning, but also retreat. As if remembering what was lost, the wings try to revive something that has been dormant, something that was lost to the ravages of life's turmoil.
Overall, the lyrics of Ange have a dark, melancholic tone. They symbolize the search for freedom from societal constraints and the struggle between light and dark. The yearning for something that has been lost is evident through the imagery of wings and their whispers.
