ライビュ

• 読み: ライビュ
• ローマ字: raibyu
• 漢字の分解: Abbreviation of ライブビューイング (live viewing). From English 'live viewing.'
• 発音: /ɾa.i.bʲu/

意味

Live viewing; watching a concert or event broadcast live on the big screen in a movie theater.

ライビュ (short for ライブビューイング) is a uniquely popular format in Japan where concerts, stage plays, and events are broadcast live in movie theaters nationwide. It's more affordable than concert tickets and available in more locations, making it accessible to fans who can't attend in person. The theater atmosphere — cheering with fellow fans, using penlights, and reacting together — creates a communal experience that watching at home can't match.

例文

1. チケット取れなかったからライビュで参戦する。
2. ライビュでも会場の盛り上がりが伝わってきて最高だった。
3. 近くの映画館でライビュやるから友達と行く予定。
