Sharing about the previously released collaborative song Dear, Memory , the 47-year-old musician and pianist said that it not only came from Ha Anh Tuan's idea when the male singer asked for a joint product, but he also wanted to renew himself, as he had only been used to composing instrumental music on the piano.

Yiruma said that in order to create the most suitable and authentic product, he learned about the male singer through the internet, from songs, albums, performances... and then became more and more attracted to Ha Anh Tuan's special voice. Yiruma also expressed that the voice of " April is your lie" gave him a few ideas, one of which was to sing in harmony with the audience, so the song "Dear, Memory" was born with Vietnamese lyrics written by Ha Anh Tuan himself.
Recalling the first call, Yiruma said he asked why the male singer chose to collaborate with him. He was then told that Vietnamese audiences, especially the 8X and 9X generations, grew up with Yiruma's music through familiar songs such as Kiss the Rain, River Flows in You ... even though they sometimes did not know who the artist behind those songs was. "This really inspired me. Many people when they met me said the same thing, and when Ha Anh Tuan mentioned it, I felt very honored and proud," pianist Yiruma expressed.
He also added that when they first met the male singer, the two hugged each other so tightly that it felt like they had met a long time ago. Then came the vocal recording session in Seoul. Despite having to travel more than 5 hours from Ho Chi Minh City and not being in the best health condition, Ha Anh Tuan did his best.
Yiruma said he still wants to continue working with Ha Anh Tuan in upcoming projects.
As an artist who is used to creating and performing in closed spaces, Yiruma said that an outdoor event with a capacity of more than ten thousand spectators is quite a challenge for him, because there are many factors that influence it, one of which is the sound quality. But besides that, the audience can feel the clouds, wind, moon, sky, all the beautiful scenery around... and most importantly, the music is played live. In addition, interacting directly with the audience is also another advantage, making the artist more sublime. Therefore, "apart from a few things to pay attention to, the music is still the same," Yiruma said. He said he is very eager to perform.
Sharing about his future plans, Yiruma revealed that he and Ha Anh Tuan plan to release another version of Dear, Memory and believe that this will be the beginning of future projects so that the male singer can collaborate with other Korean artists. When asked if he would accept if any Vietnamese singer wanted to collaborate with him, Yiruma humorously said "no", because he still wants to continue working with Ha Anh Tuan.
