Key information
The 3.7 version of Wuthering Waves introduced a storyline featuring the new character Moonlit Fox, accompanied by the song Brightening Lamp, As Moonlit Fades, performed by Mili vocalist Cassie Wei. Following its release, the song sparked discussions on social media regarding her Chinese pronunciation, vocal style, and lyrical recognition, with some Chinese players questioning the collaboration.
Because the track drew criticism, some listeners linked the work directly to the independent band Mili. However, band member Yamato Kasai clarified on X that the project is not a Mili song, explaining that the track and vocal direction were provided by the other party, with Cassie Wei only handling the performance. Streaming platforms credit jixwang as the composer and arranger, Ran Yuyou as the lyricist, and Cassie Wei as the vocalist.
Following the clarification, Cassie Wei posted on X stating she likely will not accept singing commissions in the future unless they come from composers she personally knows, describing commercial work as extremely traumatic. She later clarified that her distress stemmed from the interactions and limits associated with commissions rather than haters, adding that she prefers to focus on writing and singing the band's own songs going forward.
