1. A moving image reproduction apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to
acquire data of a plurality of moving images transferred from a server by streaming, the plurality of moving images representing a same space, the plurality of moving images representing the same space having common audio data;
time-divide the plurality of moving images into units of segment data;
generate a presentation time stamp that defines an output timing of image data and audio data for each segment data;
acquire audio data from one of the plurality of moving images and acquire first image data from a first moving image of the plurality of moving images;
pause output of audio data of a first segment data by a predetermined period and output the audio data of the first segment data after the predetermined period;
pause output of first image data of the first segment data and first image data of a second segment data after the first segment data until a presentation time stamp of audio data is for the second segment data;
output audio data and first image data having a same presentation time stamp;
accept, from a user, a switching operation for switching a first image included in the first moving image that is an output target, to a second image included in a second moving image;
in response to the switching operation, stop output of the first moving image, acquire data of the second moving image having a presentation time stamp, and continue to output audio data; and
output second image data from the second moving image at a timing when a presentation time stamp of the audio data changes to match the presentation time stamp of the second image data.
