  1. 01Should Phones Be Banned at Concerts?

    Hello, everyone. Last month, I went to a concert, and during my favorite song, all I could see was a sea of phone screens. It made me ask: should phones be banned at concerts? Let's look at both sides.

    皆さん、こんにちは。先月、コンサートに行ったら、大好きな曲の間、見えたのはスマホの画面の海だけでした。それで考えました。コンサートでスマホは禁止すべきでしょうか?両方の意見を見ていきましょう。

  2. 02For a Ban: Enjoy the Moment

    Some fans say a ban would help everyone enjoy the moment. Instead of watching the show through a small screen, people would actually watch the artist.

    禁止すればみんながその瞬間を楽しめる、と言うファンもいます。小さな画面越しにショーを見るのではなく、実際にアーティストを見るようになる、というのです。

  3. 03For a Ban: Better for Others

    They also say phones bother other people. When someone holds a phone up high, the people behind them can't see the stage.

    スマホはほかの人の迷惑になる、とも言います。だれかがスマホを高く掲げると、その後ろの人にはステージが見えません。

  4. 04Against a Ban: Keeping Memories

    Others argue that phones help us keep memories. A short video lets you relive a special night, and share it with friends who couldn't come.

    一方で、スマホは思い出を残すのに役立つ、と主張する人もいます。短い動画があれば、特別な夜をもう一度味わえますし、来られなかった友達とも分かち合えます。

  5. 05Against a Ban: Safety

    There's also safety. At a big concert, you may need your phone to find your friends or contact your family.

    安全の問題もあります。大きなコンサートでは、友達を見つけたり、家族に連絡したりするのにスマホが必要になるかもしれません。

  6. 06My View: Phones Down for One Song

    In my view, a full ban is too much. But I like the idea of one song with phones down. The artist could ask everyone to put their phones away and just listen together.

    私の考えでは、完全に禁止するのはやりすぎです。でも、1曲だけスマホを下ろすというアイデアはいいと思います。アーティストがみんなにスマホをしまうようお願いして、ただ一緒に聞くのです。

  7. 07Conclusion

    To sum up, phones have good and bad sides at concerts. My advice is simple: record a little, but live a lot. Thank you.

    まとめると、コンサートでのスマホには良い面も悪い面もあります。私のアドバイスは単純です。録画は少しだけ、その場は思いきり楽しみましょう。ありがとうございました。
