Erika Toda cast in Japan-Taiwan collaboration
Rising teen star Erika Toda is set to take her first step as an international actress. She has been cast in the movie "Tea Fight," a collaborative work between Taiwan and Japan. The story follows a young Japanese girl who travels to Taiwan in search of a legendary tea that may help her father (Teruyuki Kagawa).
The idea for the tea-themed film began two years ago. The Taiwanese director approached a Japanese production company to discuss the project, and he was introduced to Toda, who at the time was acting in the Fuji TV drama series "Engine." He was impressed by her acting skills, and has been following her progress since then.
Toda has also been gaining popularity overseas due to her appearance in the "Death Note" movies.
"Tea Fight" is scheduled to open next year throughout Asia. Distribution will be handled by Movie-Eye Entertainment. Filming is planned to take place from late October to early December, with about 80% of the filming located in Taiwan. Casting for the major Taiwanese roles is currently in progress.

I don't think there is Taiwanese language, Taiwan and China use the same main language: Chinese or Mandarin.
There are no difference between Chinese and Taiwanese people (eventhough there are, still very difficult to recognize which one are they), the only different thing is the language acsent and of course their nationality.
in fact, Taiwanese is a variant of Amoy Min Nan. It is often seen as a Chinese dialect within a larger Chinese language. and Mandarin is the official modern Chinese spoken language used by the People's Republic of China, and the Republic of China (Taiwan).
so I think Erika will more likely to speak some Chinese in the movie.
