ROmantic Mode (or "ROM", to fans...) was a J-pop/techno/high-energy trio formed by Akira Asakura in vocals, Masaki Suzukawa in guitar and Joe Rinoie in keyboards and programming. They became famous after recording two opening songs for the animated TV series "After War Gundam X", one of the many installments in the long running Japanese science fiction saga "Gundam". "Dreams", the first one of those songs, was taken from ROM's self-titled debut album, which was released on 21 August 1996.

ROmantic Mode (or "ROM", to fans...) was a J-pop/techno/high-energy trio formed by Akira Asakura in vocals, Masaki Suzukawa in guitar and Joe Rinoie in keyboards and programming. They became famous after recording two opening songs for the animated TV series "After War Gundam X", one of the many installments in the long running Japanese science fiction saga "Gundam". "Dreams", the first one of those songs, was taken from ROM's self-titled debut album, which was released on 21 August 1996. Only four months later, thanks to the hype that their collaboration with a Gundam project entailed, ROM released a second album -"Vision of Love"- that included the other opening song, "Resolution". Their discography was completed with a third album "Dimensions" (1997) and a compilation album "Romantic Pleasures: The Best of ROmantic Mode", released in 1999 shortly before breaking up as a group.
