Pareil, j'ai vu passer ça il y a quelques jours et a priori ça ressemble à une playlist joué dans le jeu. Le groupe n'en fait pas la promotion et les commentaires sur reddit ne me semblaient pas clairs non plus sur comment ça se passe cette année.

I did not see this one coming at all!
Some context as a longtime Genshin player.
The concert last year was in celebration of the game's 1st year anniversary. It was supposed to be offline and live but changed to prerecorded online instead. I guess they are making it a recurring thing now. Genshin also regularly collabs and releases other performances, but the annual concert is the most complete and longest in duration.
The music in Genshin is critically acclaimed, with multiple theme songs for each character and region. They are mostly classically inspired, but a big thing has been implementing regional elements into the music. So far we have four areas, Europe/Germany, China, Japan, and MENA/South Asia respectively (Think BAND-MAIKO in terms of how they incorporate regional sounds)
TBH most players don't care that much who is playing, so I feel the exposure will be limited. In fact I'm not even sure if they will be able to wear their maid outfits. Will also be expecting more that Akane, Kanami, Misa appears rather than the whole band (Maybe Miku too if she has the time). Basically, I think we should just be happy to see the ladies performing, don't dwell too much on how it'll boost their popularity
If it follows last year, the entire livestream will be free and archived
As one might guess, most of the music is more suitable for philharmonic orchestras. An example as to what one can expect for the "rock" portion can be found here. This is one of the theme songs of a character named "Childe"
On a personal note, if BAND MAID is involved during Raiden Shogun's theme I might die of happiness.
Edit: bon finalement notre t-shinjia a posté ceci:
"Miku if Band-Maid will appear in the Genshin concert, and Miku just replied:
(?×?)
Is it Miffy? Or does it mean she has to keep it secret?"
A+
