Sorry to keep coming back to this, but now that I've seen the whole live, I wanted to officially comment about this issue.

Well that's always kind of the weird thing, the times that Ayu is suspected of lip syncing, usually are on the songs that at least seem like they should be easy to sing. There was absolutely no logical reason to me to lip sync Theme of a-nation at one of the CDLs, but the evidence is pretty solid that she did. Maybe she avoids it on the hard songs because if she suddenly sounded perfect on those people would be even more suspicious? Whereas if it is an assumed easier song to sing people might just say "it sounds good because this is an easy song"? Also many of her difficult to sing songs are her biggest hits - people would catch on quicker and possibly feel more cheated maybe? Just some possible reasons.
After viewing the whole a-nation this year I'm even more convinced that Greatful Days was lip synced or at the very least extremely doubled. For example, compare to the boys and girls performance directly after. As she is walking down the stairs and just walking along the side of the audience, you hear her voice make adjustments as a result of those movements. And then again in July 1st she is walking and waving her arms and her voice responds as a result of the movement. In Greatful Days she is moving around a whole lot more, yet you hear nothing in her voice that results from those movements. She even at some points vigorously shakes her head and torso while singing at the same time yet it still comes out perfectly smooth. I've never seen any artist be able to do that without it having some kind of effect on their voice (unless of course they are lip syncing) and there are certainly artists out there that are better than Ayu at singing and dancing at the same time, yet even they aren't able to do that.
However, aside from this one issue, everything else about this a-nation was great imo.
