Need Matrimelee storyline info

I am in the process of writing a review of Matrimelee now that I have the cart and I am also in the process of adding a couple of Matrimelee related features to my site (which I hope you will all enjoy), but I need some help. I'm looking for the following things:

a) some info on the the general story of the game

b) some info on the story for each character if possible

c) translated lyrics?

One kind forum member has offered to translate the lyrics into English for me if someone can provide a scan of the lyrics sheet from the soundtrack CD (or similar). I'm hoping to buy the CD soon anyway, but if someone else can provide it before then, that would be great

As for the storyline, I already know bits and pieces, but I could do with a basic plot summary if someone could provide one. Any info would be appreciated, and if I use it in the review I'll be sure to give you full credit I can't seem to find much info anywhere on the net - there is the official site, although that's in Japanese and babelfish doesn't exactly give you the most reliable translation wink

Thanks in advance,
Kaz

Check out gamefaqs under arcade and power instinct somebody has done a brief history FAQ on all 4 games (5 with legends) its worth a read to get a bit of info on the BG on the tournament!

for those who don't wanna look heres an extract:

The Gouketsu clan . . . Every 500 years, a hand-to-hand combat
tournament is held to determine who is the strongest fighter. The
fighter is then chosen to become the leader of the Gouketsu clan.
Anyone who is a descendant of the Gogetsu clan may enter. Their present
leader, Gouketsu Oume, has defended her reign for 60 years. To all
entrants, an attendent named Kuroko is assigned to take care of all their
needs. Once again, their present leader, 78 years old Oume, will attempt
to defend her title. However, this time Oume's younger sister Otane, who
ran away from home years ago, has also entered the Tournament!

Thanks man... I had seen that guide before, but there isn't much info on Matrimelee in there yet, it's mistly info on the older Power Instinct games. That bit of info might come in handy though.
