生配信

• 読み: なまはいしん
• ローマ字: nama haishin
• 漢字の分解: 生 (live/raw) + 配 (distribute) + 信 (transmit) → live broadcast/real-time stream
• 発音: /na.ma ha.i.ɕi.n/

意味

A live broadcast or real-time stream — emphasizing that the content is happening right now, not pre-recorded.

生配信 adds 生 (nama, raw/live) to 配信 (haishin, stream) to specifically emphasize that the broadcast is happening in real time. While 配信 can technically include pre-recorded content distribution, 生配信 unambiguously means a live broadcast. The term carries excitement and immediacy — viewers know they are watching something unscripted and unpredictable. It is used across all streaming platforms and is a common way to announce or advertise livestreams.

例文

1. 今から生配信始めます！コメントお待ちしてます。

3. 生配信の臨場感は録画じゃ味わえない。
