Filmed here, per Wikipedia

The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed

“The gentle regime created for Vysotsky in the film crew allowed him to continue his theatrical activities, perform concerts, and travel, including long trips to Tahiti and North America.” Wikipedia
Set here
Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
Drawn from this place
Productions whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Tahiti as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
