Manami Aiba video game appareance

TV Tropes says she's playable in My Hero One's Justice 2 but i cannot find any other evidence to support this

Did i missed anything or have i just been victim of an hoax? Trade (talk) 00:21, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

She is listed as DLC on the official site, as a package with a villain called Danjuro Tobita or "Gentle". Unsure whether playable.  Card Zero  (talk) 02:32, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Time Warp (song)

In that song, there's one verse sung by a woman in a fancy outfit with a top hat. She sings it in kind of a cartoonish voice, what I might call "Betty Boop style" or "flapper style". I was just wondering if there's a more formal name for that style of singing? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:20, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's a recognised singing style as such (though I could be wrong). It's somewhat nasalized, and in keeping with the speech of the character throughout as performed by Nell Campbell, who is Australian, in both the original play and subsequent film, and which to me (a Brit) sounds like a (bad?) Brooklyn accent perhaps parodying Barbra Streisand in the same way that Madeline Kahn (around the same time) parodied Marlene Dietrich in Blazing Saddles. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.6.41.216 (talk) 01:23, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nell was not performing a parody. She released more music, independent of musicals, and used the same voice. It is her singing voice either by choice or by nature. The easiest example to find is "Do The Swim." 68.187.174.155 (talk) 18:07, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
