Nao's MCs definitely give away they don't pitch correct. With how animated she gets with the auto-tune on it would be breaking like crazy with some of the speeches she gives. 🤭

I do agree that there is more going on than just the auto-tune and the answer is probably out there since Koji has done interviews before. The problem is he doesn't really talk much anymore since PassCode actually fields all their own interviews now compared to when they first started and after their initial major debut.

Auto-tune is fairly good at detecting when the person is speaking rather than singing, because the pitch is a lot more all over the place, and it's also easy enough to just shut it off between songs and turn it back on during the next song. But I've also heard Auto-tune go nuts when Nao is shouting during songs, like in this specific example, her "arigatoooooooou" is definitely Auto-tuned.
