How is the Song La Vaguelette?

The song La vaguelette was featured in Furina's Story Quest, "The Little Oceanid" in the game Genshin Impact, and was performed by French actress and singer Cécilia Cara.

"The Little Oceanid" is the first act of Furina's Story Quest, during which the Traveler helps a troupe who is struggling to get back to the stage. Furina, who just got through Fontaine's crisis, is also dragged into the event, in which the Traveler eventually cheers her back up.

It is fair to say, that "The Little Oceanid" finally gives Furina a chance to play the role that she likes, instead of the role she has to. The event also allows Furina to get back to the stage and the public. She is no longer the Hydro Archon, relieved from the prophecy regarding Fontaine, and will be whatever she wants to be —— an actress.

During the quest This Life, Just Like a Light Trickle Song in her Story Quest, Furina performed perfectly her role and sang the song La Vaguelette, which was composed by Dimeng Yuan of HOYO-MIX, written by Hani, Hsiang Liu, and Bao, and performed by Cécilia Cara. When the HOYO-MIX team was producing the song, Cécilia Cara happened to be on tour in China for the French musical Romeo and Juliet, in which she plays the role of Juliet. The team first contacted her just for a try, but they chimed in easily.

This is the second vocal song that HOYO-MIX made, the first being Divine Damsel of Devastation. To be more narrative, La Vaguelette starts as a musical, duet and soprano are also added into the refrain, which makes the song more romantic and gorgeous.

The beautiful singing by Cécilia Cara and the touching melody, illustrate the loneliness that Furina has tolerated for over five hundred years; the duet in the refrain, sounds as if the struggle inside the character, which makes the song, as well as the story, more moving and more tragic.

La Vaguelette not only introduces the story of Furina but also impresses the audience with the unique charm of a musical. To encourage more performance and discussion, HOYO-MIX invited many famous singers to perform La Vaguelette in Chinese, English, and French. Many netizens also took part in the performance from video websites including BiliBIli and YouTube, some even started to teach French or popularize knowledge regarding musicals.

In response to such a population, Genshin Impact promoted an official product for all La Vaguelette lovers. The Genshin Impact X QQ Music Furina La Vaguelette Acrylic Commemorative Ticket Ornament features a built-in NFC music chip. Once you put your smartphone near it, you can launch the "QQ Music" application (mostly Chinese market only though) and start to play the song La Vaguelette.
