Spring Festival Gala Song Suspected of Copying Mobile Game Soundtrack?

Recently, a user posted on a gaming community suggesting that a song featured on the Spring Festival Gala sounded suspiciously similar to the soundtrack of the game 'Princess Connect! Re: Dive' (PCR). The post humorously remarked, 'How should we evaluate PCR reaching the Gala stage before Genshin? Uncle (a common nickname for Bilibili, the publisher of PCR) is the ultimate winner!'

In response to these plagiarism allegations, the community reacted with a healthy dose of skepticism. Many veteran users argued that 'without a musical transcription (bapu), it's just reckless speculation.' They pointed out that claims based purely on 'it sounds similar' are often subjective and lack technical grounding.

As the discussion evolved, some users provided detailed musical transcriptions for comparison. The conclusion was that the similarities did not constitute plagiarism, but rather standard melodic variations common in music composition. Many also criticized the original video creator for their contradictory behavior—claiming to remain neutral while using provocative titles to bait clicks—effectively putting the matter to rest through rational discourse.
