Popular music in Taiwan has a similarly varied history. As a Japanese colony up to 1945, many on the island enjoyed Japanese-language popular entertainment. Control of Taiwan by the mainland China Nationalist Party since 1945, has brought about an insistence on the use of Mandarin Chinese in radio broadcasting, even though most of the population prefers to use their own Minnan dialect. The singer Deng Lijun, mentioned above, is representative of the light romantic style popular at this time. In the mid-1970s, resisting a governmental ban on singing in Minnan language, a group of young musicians launched a movement of "singing our own songs", which led to the emergence of a genre called "school campus songs" which fused poetic lyrics with Western instruments and content more suited to the taste of younger audiences. This movement brought out several influential songwriters such as Luo Dayou (b. 1954) and Hou Dejian (b. 1956) and singers including Qi Yu (b. 1957) and Pan Yueyun (b. 1957). Since the 1990s, many Taiwan pop musicians have again pursued careers in mainland China, Japan, and Hong Kong, favoring mainly love-themed songs performed predominantly in Mandarin to satisfy this larger market (Moskowitz 2010). For this reason, it is now difficult to talk of entirely separate markets. A representative example is offered by the singer songwriter Jay Chou (Zhou Jielun) (b. 1979), whose work contains strong elements of a Chinese style (called "China wind") plus traits of other globalized Western popular music styles.
