  We report our recent progress on extragalactic spectroscopic and continuum
observations, including HCN(J=1-0), HCO$^+$(J=1-0), and CN(N=1-0) imaging
surveys of local Seyfert and starburst galaxies using the Nobeyama Millimeter
Array, high-J CO observations (J=3-2 observations using the Atacama
Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) and J=2-1 observations with the
Submillimeter Array) of galaxies, and $\lambda$ 1.1 mm continuum observations
of high-z violent starburst galaxies using the bolometer camera AzTEC mounted
on ASTE.
