Precisely because ~
Like 〜からこそ, it singles out a reason and stresses "it is precisely for this reason." The sentence often ends in 〜のだ and expresses the speaker's claim or evaluation. It is often used to explain the true, positive reason behind something that looks negative. It is a formal, written expression.
子どものことを思えばこそ、親は厳しく言うのだ。
It is precisely because they care about their children that parents speak to them strictly.
君の力を信じていればこそ、この仕事を頼んだんだ。
I asked you to do this job precisely because I believe in your ability.
Because of the special situation ~, (naturally) ~
Means "because of the special circumstance ~," and describes the natural result or scene that follows from it. It is common in news and reports to objectively explain a situation, as in "since it's a long weekend, the roads are crowded." It is not followed by the speaker's intention, an order, or a request.
連休とあって、駅はどこも旅行客で混んでいる。
Since it's a long weekend, every station is crowded with travelers.
人気の作家が来るとあって、会場には朝から長い列ができた。
Because a popular writer was coming, a long line formed at the venue from the morning.
山の中の小さな町で、十年ぶりに夏祭りが復活した。In a small town in the mountains, the summer festival came back for the first time in ten years.
過疎が進んで太鼓や踊りの担い手がいなくなり、祭りは長い間中止されていたのだ。As depopulation progressed, there was no one left to play the drums or dance, so the festival had been cancelled for a long time.
久しぶりの開催とあって、当日は町の人口の倍を超える人が集まり、会場は熱気に包まれた。Because it was held for the first time in years, more than twice the town's population gathered on the day, and the venue was filled with excitement.
屋台にも昼から行列ができ、大変な盛況だった。There were lines at the food stalls from midday, and it was a huge success.
祭りの存続のために動いたのは、町を出て都会で働く二十代の若者たちだ。The people who worked to keep the festival going were young people in their twenties who had left the town to work in the city.
中心になった山田さんは「離れていても町への愛着があればこそ、毎週末帰ってきて練習を続けられた」と話す。Mr. Yamada, who led the group, says, "It's precisely because we're attached to the town, even living far away, that we could keep coming back every weekend to practice."
難しかったのは太鼓のリズムを継承することだった。昔の打ち手はもう高齢で、楽譜も残っていなかった。The hard part was passing on the drum rhythms. The old drummers were already elderly, and no written music remained.
助けになったのは、十年前の最後の祭りで、当時小学生だった山田さん自身がタブレットで撮った動画だ。What helped was a video that Mr. Yamada himself, then an elementary school student, shot on a tablet at the last festival ten years ago.
若者たちはその動画を何度も見て、リズムを一つずつ覚えた。The young people watched the video again and again and learned the rhythms one by one.
もっとも、動画の半分には、太鼓ではなく撮っている山田さん自身の顔が映っていたそうだ。That said, apparently half of the video showed the face of Mr. Yamada himself, who was filming, instead of the drums.
来年は町の小学生にも太鼓を教える予定だ。「今度はカメラの向きにも気をつけます」と山田さんは笑った。Next year they plan to teach the drums to the town's elementary school children too. "This time I'll be careful about which way the camera is facing," Mr. Yamada said with a laugh.

R1祭りが長い間中止されていたのはなぜか。

Respuesta: 3 山田さんが子どものころに撮った動画があったから
The text says what helped was the video Mr. Yamada shot as an elementary school student, and they learned the rhythms by watching it many times. No written music remained, so 2 is wrong.
