向声音开战——抗战胜利后台湾的日语歌曲整肃

The Banning of Japanese Songs Taiwan after the Victory of Anti-Japanese War

抗战胜利后,中国政府收回了被日人侵占五十年的台湾。由于日本殖民者的歌曲同化政策与日本歌曲的输入,造成了日语歌曲风靡台湾的趋势。日语歌曲在台湾的流行,特别是军国主义性质歌曲的流行,已引起当地官员的警觉与清除行动;二二八事件中的日语歌曲元素及其象征的本省人身份令其更加担忧,并逐渐对日语歌曲采取全面查禁的政策,但日语歌曲影响并未因此消退。1949年后,台湾当局更是试图彻底抑制日语歌曲的影响,但这一措施最终于1953年宣告失败。

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chinese National Government took over Taiwan, which had been occupied by the Japanese for 50 years. The assimilation policy of Japanese colonists and the import of Japanese songs led to the popularity of Japanese songs in Taiwan. The trend, especially the popularity of military songs, aroused the vigilance of officials in Taiwan to take cleanup action. The elements of Japanese songs in the 228 Incident and the identity of the local people symbolized by the incident made the KMT officials in Taiwan more worried. Gradually, they adopted a comprehensive policy of banning Japanese songs, but the influence of Japanese songs did not subside. After1949, the KMT authorities, which moved to Taiwan, also found the problem of the impact of Japanese songs. They tried to suppress the impact of Japanese songs together with provincial officials. However, this measure failed in 1953. Since then, banning Japanese songs is no longer the focus of the KMT’s song policy.
