Taiwanese wave (Japanese: 台流, romanized: Tairyū) is a neologism originally coined in Japan to refer to the increase in the popularity of Taiwanese popular culture in the country (including: actors, dramas, music, fashion, films), and to distinguish it from the Korean wave (Korean: 한류; RR: Hallyu) co-existing in Japan.[1] Many Taiwanese dramas, songs as well as idol actors, singers, bands or groups have become popular throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia.[2]

The English-based Kpop blogosphere has made it known to western fans of the huge popularity of Kpop over in Japan, but what has not been reported is that Kpop is actually only one of two popular trends going on over in the land of the rising sun. The other trend, of course, is Taiwanese pop. We kid you not, and there's even a word for it Japanese called 台流 (pronounced Tairyū), which literally means the influx of Taiwanese pop culture in Japan.
