Since molecular gas fuels AGNs and molecular clouds form stars, understanding of molecular gas dynamics is a key to the understanding of active phenomena (such as starbursts and AGNs) in galactic nuclei. To study gas dynamics in weakly barred galaxies, we made CO interferometry (to trace gas) and NIR imaging (to trace stars) toward two nearby SAB galaxies M100 and M94. Each galaxy has a small stellar nuclear bar and also has an outer bar or oval distortion, thus suitable for the study of gas dynamics in a barred gravitational potential. Observations were made using Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA) and the IRcamera PICNIC installed at the ISAS 1.3 m telescope.
