Columbia Records (Taiwan)
Columbia Records (Japanese: 臺灣コロムビア販賣株式會社, 1933–1945) was a record company that was once active in the manufacture and distribution of wormwood records in Taiwan under Japanese rule, and was a pioneer of Taiwan's modern pop music industry.
In October 1910, Nitchiku was upgraded to a joint-stock company (Kabushiki-Gaisha Nippon Chikuonki Shōkai or Nipponophone Co., Ltd.) and became Japan's first major record corporation
By spring 1912, Nitchiku had founded over thirty branch offices across Japan proper and its colonies. The one in Taipei opened in September 1911 and became Taiwan’s primary source of gramophones and related products
In 1914, Kotaro Okamoto led 15 Hakka musicians, including Lin Shi Sheng (Mandarin: 林石生), Fan Lian Sheng (Mandarin: 范連生), He Awen (Mandarin: 何阿文), He Mingtian (Mandarin: 何明添), Huang Fangrong (Mandarin: 黃芳榮), Wu Shian (Mandarin: 巫石安), and Peng Azeng (Mandarin: 彭阿增), to Japan to make recordings, and released albums such as "A String of New Years" (Mandarin: 一串年, featuring Hakka eight-tone performances), "Lighting Lanterns" (Mandarin: 點燈紅, featuring the Taiwanese Min-nan language pronunciation of the "Car Drum Tune" (Mandarin: 車鼓調), and "Sanbo Yingtai" (Mandarin: 三伯英台, which is a prototype of the development of the Gezai Opera in the floor sweeping stage).
In 1929, Nissei acquired the right to use the Columbia Records trademark and began to release records under the trademark. Shojiro Arbuthnot took charge of all his record business other than Modified Eagle Label.
On August 17, 1930, the name "Gulenmeyer" was first published in the Nippon News.
Between 1930 and 31, "Singing Chai Opera: The Story of the Martyrs" (Mandarin: 歌仔戲：烈女記) was published, featuring Wen Hongtu (Mandarin: 溫紅塗), Yue Zhong'e (Mandarin: 月中娥), and Jing Li Hua (Mandarin: 鏡梨花), with folk tales adapted into sing-song opera repertoire, with the recording number F532, and the production number "80023". The performer, Wen Hongtu, was one of the first generation of singers and had been recording singers since 1926. In the 1930s, Columbia produced a complete set of singers' songs called "New Singers' Songs", and Wen Hongtu was also responsible for the script, backstage and singing for Gulenmaier. In 1932, Columbia Records released the promotional song "A Sad Love Story"(Mandarin: 桃花泣血記), which was originally marketed for the movie "A Sad Love Story". Later, the Literary Department of Columbia Records was officially established, hiring lyricists and composers to write songs, and enlisting singers and musicians to record songs with a "Taiwanese flavor". In 1933, Tan Kun-giok (Mandarin: 陳君玉) was appointed as the Minister of Literature and Arts of Columbia; in February, Payno Shojiro registered the establishment of Taiwan Colombea Trading Company with a capital of 150,000 yen, which was a branch of Nissei in Taiwan; and released the song "Dancing Age" (Mandarin: 跳舞時代), with lyrics describing the trend of social dancing, free love, and listening to pop songs. In addition, he also released the songs "Bāng Tshun-hong" (Mandarin: 望春風) and "Moonlight Blue" (Mandarin: 月夜愁).
In 1934, Chen Junyu left his post in the middle of the year, and Chiu Thiam-ōng took over as the Minister of Literature and Arts; he published "The Torment of a Flower", "Brokenhearted Flower" (Mandarin: 碎心花), and "Four Seasons of Red"(Mandarin: 四季紅).
