GI: How did the role of singing "Jump Up Superstar" come about" Did you audition for something mysterious and learn what it was later" Or did you have a good idea what it was early on"

KH: Well, I was asked by my friends at Cup of Tea studio, who were doing all the voice recording, if I was interested in singing a song for a Nintendo video game. They recommended me to the client in Japan, so Japan had me audition basically by sending them some samples of my voice. I don't know if other women were in the running or not, but fortunately they liked what i sent them so they said, "Yes! Let's do it!"
I can't remember when I learned the song was for Super Mario Odyssey. It may have been a few days before the actual recording session.

GI: She doesn't do much speaking in the game, but do you play Pauline's in-game voice as well"

KH: Yes I do! Apparently it's a pretty big deal because she's never spoken before. It's really an honor, and exciting to give her a voice.
