"Let the Wind Tell You" (让风告诉你 Ràng fēng gàosù nǐ) is a Chinese-language Genshin Impact fansong written and composed by ChiliChill. It was originally performed by hualing, MiaoJiang, Yanning, and kinsen, the official Chinese voice actors for the characters Klee, Venti, Qiqi, and Xiao. Although the song is not an official project associated with the game, it gained recognition as a result of the voice actors' involvement.
The song's creators, ChiliChill, are an independent artist group comprised of Yu H. and CuSummer. They posted the song, along with a video illustrated by Kurattes and 黑鹿原, to Bilibili on February 6, 2021. Kurattes uploaded a copy of it to Youtube two days later. The Youtube upload was accompanied by a comment by Kurattes, in which they said:
Yes, the singers for the characters are the Chinese ingame voice actors. They were kind enough to lend their voices to this song - thank you. We're all happy that more people are getting to know the CN voice actors and giving them a try in game.
Our intention was to create a certain happiness for the people watching, as well as bid goodbye to the misfortunes of this past year. We hope that the lyrics/melody/illustrations will be an uplifting reminder to every traveler.
They also invited the fandom to make edits, covers, and parodies of the song.
An English translation of the song's lyrics is available here.
Reception
The original video has over 7 million views and 294 thousand likes on Youtube as of March 2022. The Billibilli upload was similarly well-received.
