The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say about m-flo

Now that I have all of Astromantic (she says wild-eyed) I'm only missing m-flo inside i.e. Sotoshigoto Part II, and Astromantic Charm School the requisite remix album - yeah, just when you were thinking m-flo are the Japanese Handsome Boy Modeling School equivalent too.

m-flo loves Emi Hinouchi, AI and Rum - Starstruck~ The Return of the LuvBytes

The guiding aesthetic of the "m-flo loves..." series of singles culminating in the Astromantic album is essentially the scenario presented in this track: a most excellent discoball par-tay deejayed by Taku, emceed by Verbal, and full of beautiful and idolized Japanese people (also Johnny Depp, because two outta three ain't bad). To be played on equipment that does justice to the bassline, under circumstances when the listener can bounce along. Guest list for all! ...God, I love that synth organ bit.

m-flo loves CHEMISTRY - Astrosexy

アストロマンチック: それは、未知の世界への憧れを持つこと。未知の可能性を常に追求すること。普段、DJがいるなチューンをフロア出かけた時、ロマンチックなボイズはフライなガルズと踊らずにいられないのはずだ。目と目を合わせ、二人は極普通に素敵な夜を過ごすだろう。しかし、アストロマンチックなボイズ、いや、アストロマンチック・ジェンタルマンの場合:DJがホットなチューンをかけた時、ブースに入り込んで、今まで誰に聞いてもないようなヴァースをスピットする。そしてパーチィーピポルの心全員でロック・ダウンしてしまう。
Astromantic: state of yearning for the world of the unknown. State of constantly pursuing the possibilities of the unknown. Under normal circumstances, when the DJ puts a great tune on the dancefloor, romantic boys and fly girls can't help but dance. Their eyes meet, and the two of them spend a wonderful night in an extremely normal fashion. However, in the case of the astromantic boy - no, astromantic gentleman - when the DJ put on a hot tune, he breaks into the booth, spits out a verse like no one has ever heard before, and rocks down in the hearts of all the party people.

--m-flo, "How to be Astromantic"

(Yes, I transcribed that. I'm really that insane.)

I keep waiting for someone else to do it! I mean m-flo is to Japanese radio as Neptunes are to American radio, I can't be the only fan. (This is like when the new analyst asked me why I didn't want to call the QA automation tool meeting. "It's not my job! I'm sure I don't have the authority! I've never called a meeting in my life!")

How did I not see this before?

And no, you are not the only fan of m-flo. I only have Astromantic and The Intergalactic Collection, so I can't really consider myself a full fan yet until I actually get my hands on more of their albums.

Grabbed "How to be Astromantic" and laughed at the serious tone of the man as he said things like "fly na girls." ^_^ I love m-flo, and was amazed at how good their English was in an interview I saw.
