![]() ![]() I can’t remember when I learned the song was for Super Mario Odyssey. 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!" They recommended me to the client in Japan, so Japan had me audition basically by sending them some samples of my voice. 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. 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? I love all roles, except maybe screaming villains that do nothing but scream! Sakura is definitely one of my favorites, because I have been voicing her for so long and I know her so well. What are some of your favorite roles you’ve been able to perform? You played Sakura in Naruto and Barbie at one point. ![]() I have recorded quite a few albums which you can find on iTunes if you search my name, Kate Higgins. when I get to play a character who sings, as well, it’s the best of both worlds. Music certainly prepared me for voiceover and I’ve always been an actress at heart. I moved to Los Angeles to sing and do music. Game Informer: What’s your history with voiceover and singing? ![]() We spoke with her over e-mail about how she landed the role of Pauline, what she thinks of the strange lyrics, and more. She even played Miles "Tails" Prower in a number of Sonic games. The English version of the song is sung by Kate Higgins, whose voice you may recognize from the English dub of Naruto where she plays Sakura or as Barbie in the show, Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse. About a week ago, Nintendo even made the song available to purchase on iTunes. It's an odd song, with lyrics that directly reference specific mechanics from the game, but it is undeniably catchy and joyful. 81 and Terry Hall formed the Fun Boys Three with two other ex-Specials.At E3 2017 Nintendo unveiled "Jump Up Superstar", its jazzy, big-band tribute to Super Mario Odyssey. After he went back to England, they kept up through mail, and Terry Hall sent her some lyrics she added her own and that's how Our Lips Are Sealed happened (with thanks to Chris for the story). and saw the Go-Go's and Terry took a liking to Jane Wiedlin, and they started dating. It goes a bit like this: The Specials were playing in LA. Regarding the story of OLAS, The Kinks had nothing to do with the song. I didn't check other live concerts to see if they always sing the song this way, but from memory that's what I remember hearing when I saw them live myself. This concert is available on a bootleg CD. The Go-Go's sang the version I posted live in Los Angeles in 1984. I have posted the lyrics to two other versions of OLAS, the one originally used on the CD (OLAS original LP version) and the one they sang live, which is more or like what is posted here but longer, except for the part "that's when YOU'll be feared" which is a typo and should read WE'll be feared. However, that's not what you hear on either original record. ![]() The lyrics above are like they appear in the booklet of the Go-Go's CD Beauty and the beat (and also on the inner sleeve of the original LP). ![]()
