A receiver () receives a comment posted from the viewer terminal during distribution of the live video. A sender () sends a comment that the receiver () received to the viewer terminal to cause the comment to be added to the comment area in a last-in-first-out manner. An identifier () identifies a comment to which the streamer reacted in the live video being distributed by, every time the streamer speaks, comparing a speech text, the speech text being acquired by subjecting speech of the streamer to speech recognition, with respective comments currently being displayed in the comment area. A display controller () controls display of the identified comment.
