Abstract

PCM audio data is recoded in a first session P1 as a first region on the inner periphery side of an optical disc Ma. Living body information is recorded in a second session P2 as a second region on the outer periphery side. The living body information is information about a living body of a music performer, an actor (actress), audience, or the like. AV information and living body information recorded on the optical disc are temporally synchronized. PCM audio data and living body information are reproduced from respective sessions. The tempo, level, and so forth of the reproduction PCM audio signal are controlled in accordance with the living body information. Thus, a listener who listens to a sound of the PCM audio signal controlled in accordance with the living body information can feel a live power.
