Background[]
"Sun Quan the Emperor" is an original song by Wugui Sui and St featuring Luo Tianyi. It was featured in bilibili's New Year Gala and became extremely popular within 2 days of its release.
The song tells the story of the famous Three Kingdoms period in China and an epic for one of the emperors, Sun Quan (portrayed by Luo Tianyi). The Three Kingdoms consisted of Wei, Shu, and Wu.
This song exceeded 100,000 views on YouTube and reached 10 million views on bilibili in July 2023.
A short version of this song is also featured in the Playstation Vita and IOS game, Musync.
Controversy[]
"Sun Quan the Emperor" was accused of plagiarizing Mekakucity Actors' theme song, "daze", and various other works (such as a sentence from Cao Cao by JJ Lin and the drums from "刀马红颜" ("Dāo Mǎ Hóngyán"). The producers of "Sun Quan the Emperor" noted that they never heard of "daze" or any of the other Kagerou Project songs though Wugui Sui was seen adding these songs to his playlist on bilibili in the past. This later lead to fans uploading comparison videos of "daze" and "Sun Quan the Emperor" only to be censored afterwards.[1]
