Romantic Mode Mp3 Section





Romantic Mode is a J-Pop group that I think is very advanced in their musical explorations in the techno world. They experiment more with different melodies and instruments, so their songs tend to be less focused on the beat than on the shifting melody line (Christ, this sounds like a Musicology report!!! ARRRRRGGGGGHHH!!!). In short, their background music is far more original than most Japanese (and American) electronica groups out there. I like them better than Two-Mix because of the wider range of instrumentation and melodies and musical pace. The lead singer, Akira Asakura, is also a much better vocalist. The other two members of the group are Masaki Suzukawa (guitars & keyboards) and Joe Rinoie (keyboards and background vocals). I know I'm going against the tide in popular Japanese music by singling out Ro-M as the best of the groups performing the kind of music they do, as compared to Ayumi Hamasaki and Two-Mix, but I really think they would gain a wider audience, especially in America, if mp3s of their songs were made more easily available. So download these freely, but if you really like Romantic Mode, PLEASE support them by buying their cds!!! Thanks, mina! ^_^

Title Size Comments
What Lies After Tomorrow 4.38 MB I guess I'm arranging this by favorites, since that's the way it just turned out. ^_^ How silly. Anyways, this is by far their best song that I've heard. It's fast techno with an intense vocal (not like I know what she's saying, but the way she's singing it makes it intense even without my knowing the words). This one would be tied with I Don't Wanna Cry for my absolute favorite Ro-M song if I hadn't OD'd on it (being the first Ro-M song I ever had, I listened to it ad nauseum and thankfully found more mp3s so I didn't burn out on Ro-M completely). Everyone MUST download this!!! ^_^
I Don't Wanna Cry 4.70 MB My 2nd favorite song of theirs! It's very fast with a great techno backbeat, and highly intense. It would be a great opening to an anime (watch it be one now that I've said that...). Everyone MUST download this! This is the song that started my Romantic Mode madness! ^_^ Oh yeah, this is a B-side to the Resolution (from Gundam X) CD single. It's better than Resolution though (kind of ironic, but oh well...)
Dimension--Track 2 5.00 MB Unfortunately I don't know the name of this track. Once I get the cd, I will, but that has to wait till my bf goes back to Japan and comes back again. Anyways, this is a much slower song, but I really like it a lot. I think it's really beautiful. This is my 3rd favorite song of theirs. ^_^
