MC and singer Bui Phuc Anh emotionally tells the story of singing with 50 national flags flying in Japan.

Recently, in Osaka, Japan, the program "Spring Homeland 2025" took place with the theme "Heart of Vietnam". The event was organized by prestigious Vietnamese associations and businesses with the support of the Consulate General of Vietnam in Osaka.

MC and singer Bui Phuc Anh shared that when he received the invitation from the Organizing Committee of "Spring Homeland 2025 - Heart of Vietnam" and the invitation from the Vietnamese Consulate General to Japan to take on the role of MC, he was very happy to participate in an important program on the occasion of the New Year for Vietnamese people living far away from home. The event attracted nearly 200,000 attendees.

The Vietnamese flag flutters in the song of the program "Spring Homeland 2025 - Heart of Vietnam".

"This is the largest cultural exchange event to date for the Vietnamese community in Japan, connecting the community and contributing to widely promoting Vietnamese culture. The program has the participation of many artists from the two countries of Vietnam, including "Anh trai say hi" Quang Hung MasterD and General Director Huy Lio", he said.

To prepare for the program to serve the Vietnamese community in Japan, before going to Osaka, Bui Phuc Anh spent a lot of time learning about Japanese culture as well as the communication culture and typical language of the Vietnamese community in the land of the rising sun.

Emphasizing the theme "Heart of Vietnam" connecting Vietnamese people living far away from home on the occasion of Tet, Bui Phuc Anh also appeared as a singer. His performance was a highlight of the program: Singing the song Vietnam in me was against the backdrop of 50 national flags flying in the Opening Ceremony.

"The opening ceremony took place in the cold weather of 3 degrees, in the early morning sunlight of Japan, in front of the Vietnamese Consulate General in Osaka. Thousands of people present, most of them Vietnamese expatriates, sang in unison with me as 50 national flags fluttered in the sun. I was so moved that I felt extremely happy, not only because I could sing in front of everyone but also because I was proud of the image of a united, loving Vietnamese people in a foreign country," Bui Phuc Anh was moved.

This is the first international cultural and artistic exchange program that Bui Phuc Anh has participated in. Arriving in Japan in very cold weather, he only wore a few warm clothes to ensure the image of the program. Therefore, he felt like he was frozen from the cold on stage.

Bui Phuc Anh also encountered many difficulties when working with Japanese MC Aki, because although both were very experienced, there were obstacles due to language barriers and cultural differences. However, thanks to the enthusiastic support of the Organizing Committee, the two MCs completed their work in the best way, leading the audience smoothly and fluently according to the emotional levels of the program.

"According to the initial plan, the program in Oska would attract about 100 thousand participants. However, in 2 days, nearly 200 thousand people came to the program, which surprised the Organizing Committee.

In the vast space of Naniwa no Miya ato park, the crowd of people attending the program created an image of a sea of ​​people never seen before in any Vietnamese event in Japan.

Standing on stage, witnessing that image, I was truly happy and proud that Vietnamese art and culture were spreading strongly in your country," Bui Phuc Anh shared.

Bui Phuc Anh sings in Japan about his love for his homeland.

Bui Phuc Anh was born in 1995, graduated from Hanoi College of Art and Central University of Art Education. He is a familiar MC for programs in Hanoi, especially cultural and artistic events. He has also released many music products with folk melodies that have been well received by the audience.
