The things you find when you're looking up things for GS Library...

Anyway, so there are actually official lyrics for Keep Pressing On, which Yamazaki wrote for the AA5 Court Suite (performed at the Okinawa Game Tact Special Gala Concert and the Cosmosky Orchestra). Translation available here if you want to sing along while cornering the baddies in the game.

The series has a weird tradition of scenario writers adding lyrics to the BGMs by the way. The Steel Samurai lyrics were written by Takumi during a break to make his team laugh, and Takumi was actually afraid people in his team would get angry if they found out the lyrics were for Klavier's theme song.

Yeah, I think Yamazaki lost all inspiration at the end and just wrote down random words :P

Please post more of this as you find them. Is there a link to the court suite? It's kinda hard to match up these lyrics to the in-game music...
Is it just me, or whenever people write stories about Phoenix, they end up falling in love with him somehow?? Not necessarily with romantic connotations, but something more than just being fans...

As far as I know, it has not been recorded, and only performed at those two concerts I mentioned in the first post. I can kinda sing the lyrics on the melody, except for the HA! HA! HA! PHOENIX!! Ah――!! part (I'm assuming the composition there is different there as it's the finale).
