It is possible to broadcast performances of entertainers such as sports players and music players, using the Internet streaming with low cost. However, information transmitted from remote audience to entertainers is limited; only text comments are available on current streaming systems. This research mainly focuses on sports games, and proposes a system with which remote audiences are able to send their cheering to players, and players are able to react to the remote cheering. We have operated and evaluated the system at some opportunities of official games of ice hockey. Players gave highly positive evaluations, but remote audiences did not always.
