Surprisingly, Splatoon 2’s singers aren’t actual inklings

Are you squidding me?

I know I shouldn’t be surprised to learn that human beings are behind the music of the Splatoon series, but putting faces to the weird voices that the inklings have is a little surreal for me. Nintendo of Japan has uploaded a video promoting the upcoming release of Splatoon 2’s “Octotune” soundtrack and it gives us a glimpse at not only the lead vocals but the band that creates the rocking tunes that flood Inkopolis.

I still can’t quite get over how crazy it is to see in motion, though. Clearly some autotuning is going on, but what if these women really do sound like that?! I want to go back to my imaginary world where I thought inklings were real.
