Saturn hardware is weird. It will playback Cinepak video with uncompressed audio streams, but being a CD console that's not really how you're supposed to do it. Most games use redbook audio streamed directly from tracks 2-however many audio files there are on the CD. While that's great for games and music playback, it sucks to try and sync that to a video file playing, so most cutscenes have pretty bad audio quality even in official releases.
So like, Sega jumped from the bleeps and bloops you hear in my tribute from last year to full CD quality audio on both SegaCD and Saturn... Unless you're watching an FMV, in which case you're only getting good audio if the video is not-fullscreen.
While I'm kinda on this topic. There was an actual singing dancing idol game with 3D MVs on Sega Saturn, developed in house by Sega AM2 no less. It's not very well known though.

Crazy to think that something similar to the 3D MVs in imas games existed in 1997.

It got me when I was trying to post my .webm, had to settle for a screenshot.
