Veteran vocalist shows she can sing in English like nobody’s business in preview for Japanese release of animated musical Sing.
In the original, English-language version of the film, Witherspoon provides both Rosita’s speaking and singing voice, and so Sakamoto does likewise in the Japanese dub.
Many anime voice actors and actresses pull double duty by contributing vocals to the production’s associated collection of songs.
But while Rita speaks in Japanese in the dub, she apparently still sings in English, which means Sakamoto does too, as shown in this clip of the anime veteran covering Katy Perry’s “Firework.”
