I know it's not common that she does, but it has happened. I suspect there's already a thread like this somewhere, I could not find any. I belive this can be a thread of it's own.
I do not blame her for it and I do not care, she got her reasons. I simply want to know, I enjoy knowledge

I am amazed by the Japanese "live" culture, TV shows and concerts is always live. In the US/Europe entire concerts being lip-synched is not too uncommon, and TV show apperances are rarely live.
I'm quite sure she has never ever lip-synched during a concert, it's often VERY obvious when artists do. But I haven's seen all her concerts yet (CT 2000, AT2k3-2k4), I'm saving some of them for later, even though I have them all.
Does anyone
know if she ever lip-synched during a concert?
Here's some examples where she lip-synched during TV performances:
SEASONS@Morning Museum, it's really obvious in this one, they even used the original CD track.
AUDIENCE@Music Station 20.10.00, for this song she sings over her own voice, the track that is playing in the background has her voice in it but she is
not lip-synching. The crowd is completely crazy so towards the end she forgets that her own voice is playing together with the instrumental track and removes the mic from her mouth. Funny, because she notices her mistake immediately
.
Some people say that theme of a-nation '03 during CDL 2k5-2k6 was lip-synched, last time I watched the DVD was yesterday, I can't really judge if it is or not. Possibly they did something like with the AUDIENCE performance mentioned above.
Some people blame her to be lip-synching as soon as she is wearing a head-mic, for example GAME/my name's WOMEN/About You of AT2k5, after watching the DVD an unhealthy amount of times I'm completely sure those are not lip-synched.
I do not want posts like "OMG!!! I KNOW SHE LIP SYNCHED THIS OR THAT SONG THERE AND THEN!!!" in this thread, so please refrain from them
