We don't know, and whatever the reason I'm sure it's a good one. I don't mind her lipsyncing on a few occasions, as long as she doesn't do it all the time... which she doesn't.
I've only watched up to End of the World, but I know for a fact ANGEL'S SONG was lipsynced. I don't know if it's been mentioned, but if you watch from 26:56 to 27:00 you can clearly see that she mouths "moshi" instead of "mita".
It might just be the file I downloaded, but the video is behind the audio for me. I'll hear her voice singing but her mouth movements are about a second behind.

You cant sing "ta" with your teeth tight and lips in a kiss position or however you call it in english. I don't want to say it's bad or good to lip-synch, I just state the fact that I'm sure Angel song was lip-synched.

I guess what moves us the most was that Ayu was always pointing out proudly that she doesn't do it. I remember how she burst into tears when that chinese guy told that she lip-synched during AT2007, she said sth like -How can he say I did sth like this, it's so cruel- and stuff. People were simply mentally prepared ONLY for live concert no matter if with good or bad vocals because Ayu somehow promised it to us.
There are plenty stars that do lip-synch, but they don't hide this fact, they say loudly that -yes, we had a background vocal because of the fast dance-, some artists have playback, and it's very obvious, you can hear it clearly but when they can they sing and when they can't they don't (while we hear double vocal), e.g Kumi's Taboo, she sings only during those parts when she's able to catch her breath.
I believe Ayu just wanted it to be a wonderful CDL. I have some thoughts that maybe she thinks that concerts like Limited TA Live Tour 2003 where she only sings is not attractive enough anymore so she includes more and more special effects, dancing etc and to be able to stand that all for such a long time she must sacrifice sth else which in this case is singing live. The empress of J-pop is required to have an awesome show, she may think, but I can bet many of us would just prefer another limited TA.
