The Cultural Interaction between Japan and Taiwan in the Colonial Period: The New-Minyo Movement and the Record Taiwan-Ondo by Victor K.K. MASUDA Chikako The New-Minyo Movement that was centered on the creations of such songwriters as Ujo Noguchi, Yaso Saijo, Hakushu Kitahara, and Shimpei Nakayama, rapidly expanded throughout Japan from the end of the Taisho Period and into the Showa Period with various hit songs like Habu no Minato and Tokyo-Ondo. A new minyo folk song boom also emerged in colonial Taiwan, and many songs were written in there as well. However, due to an overly aggressive strategy and the commercialism of the recording labels, problems of plagiarism also surfaced, such as with Yaso Saijo s Taiwan-Ondo, an issue that was examined by Wakakusa, a folk song and ballad magazine in Taiwan. Though this negative side did exist, it is still possible to touch upon a portion of the cultural interaction in East Asia by looking at the international expansion of the New-Minyo Movement.
