I heard that Ayu has never lip synch, is that true?

[arian]

I'm sure Ayu has lip synched once or twice, probably not as much as a lot of other Jpop artists, but I'm sure she's done it.

I agree that artists should SING whenever fans pay to see them, but it's understandable if they lip synch for a few parts of the song, at least, when they have an extreme choreography going on. they of course don't want to sound all out of breathe for their fans in the middle of a performance which has demanding moves, and I'm sure you can't really sing THAT well when doing jumps on stage for example.

and also to the above post...I can point out many concerts in which Ayu used a headset and frankly runs terribly out of tune *shudders at Boys & Girls performances*

Yeah I can remember many of those >< I adore some of her old songs but I don't terribly adore them when she's recently tried to sing them x_x Just to set it on the table, not all cases of headset use = lip-synch in my book, they're just what I believe to be a sign of a higher likelihood of lip-synching blah blah blah.

So...who likes cookies?

I mean, how many people can sing that well while pretending to cry? I understand that they do edit her singing afterwards, but it's still an amazing feat.

Every artists lip-synch for a music video. You don't know that? They play the song while filming the video. And when then edit the PV, they put the original song. They NEVER sing for real on PVs.

Not really... Sometimes they do sing. Just that when they produce the PVs they never add in audio recorded from the shooting studio. The audio will be from the recording studio.

ayu isn't perfect, of couse she does every now and then

That's what i meant to say. Yes, something they do sing, if they feel like doing it. But it will never make it in the final version of the PV. The music video always contain the album version of the song.

[elaniel]

there area few performances I can guarentee Ayu lip synchs.

Its either this or avex thinks the vocal is poor and goes back in editing and just places the recording over instead.

I think ones she has definately lip synched to are:

Angels Song (Arena Tour 2003-2004)
Real Me (Almost every performance)
Unite! (IF you notice at the parts where the chorus overlaps, before the background singers were around, she only sings one part and it keeps playing)
Too Late (Cause its echoey)

They only do this to make it look as if they are actually singing in the video. Making their throats move to the vibrato and taking in heavy breaths .. stuff like that.

[kingster]

i'm pretty sure ayu has lip synched before and thats totally fine. i mean sometimes you get a little exhausted from maybe intense dancing or if your sick/throat problems w/e. cuz even so you still gotta leave a smile on your face.

[jojo-chen]

well, I think that ayu is hates liar, so she won't lie to us. if ayu ever lip-sync, why does she sometime forget the song's lyric?

[Chibi_Venus]

I don't think she lip synchs. I highly doubt she does. If she ever did (or does), I wouldn't have guessed. She's a good singer, and any artist that lip-synchs is probably too lazy or afraid they will screw up, so they play the original track and mouth the words. I remember something about a singer in America singing, and she was caught on TV lip singing (Ashlee Simpson?). So, say Ayu was in a concert singing A Song For XX and then the next song she knew to sing was, I don't know, Greatful days. Say she sang A Song For XX, and the baned accidently played Dearest and there she goes singing Greatful days. She obviously doesn't lip synch because she knows what she's doing. Just look at the clip of her forgetting the words to Voyage. At least she's honest about it unlike some singers I could think of.

[RAISKA]

kristen, really??? I have this MTV performance! And I don't think that she lip synchs there! Her voice is not the one like in "Memorial adress''! It's like..she's sining live!

I'm confused! Never thought that Ayu could...

[ayu_luffy]

I hope she doesnt lip synch, shes too good...

[kentris]

To be honest, to me, I feel that when Ayu sings live, it's almost exactly the same as her voice on the CDs and original tracks.

However some other artists (and mainly american artists) when I see/hear them sing live it's nowhere near their voices on their cds, so credits to Ayu.

I don't think Ayu lip syncs but I wouldn't dislike her if she did. I've seen performances where they play the track behind but she wouldn't lip sync to it, she'd actually sing to it and you can even hear her actual voice as well =D

Yeah, sometimes the backing track contains her background vocal, and this seems to confuse people.

In our karaoke contest some people sang to instrumental versions that had bg vocals. The existence of those bg vocals did not mean that they were lip syncing.

NO OFFENSE for my corrections...
please...for that ANGEL'S SONG performance in AT 03~04 A...ayu DIDN'T LYPSINC IT AT ALL...
c'mon... listen to da beats...IT'S SLOWER than the real one... if you said it's edited...ok...But They WON'T EVEN COULD EDIT TILL DA BEST.they just made it sound clearer coz' in that ARENA the sound system echoing !!!..remember...ayu is a perfectionist woman in this entire world I know..
for OTHER performance taht i hadn't seen yet..i dunno...but please.. trust in ayu...that "too late" intro is being MANIPULATE BY DA MANIPULATOR !!!
"Real me" also...it's ayu's REAL VOICE..
if u wanna know how good ayu sing some part just listen a small part of she taught independent dance...when she said in da last part "junbi wa ikkaii" while talking.....that's LYPSINC also?????????? NO

[kentris]

off topic: damn rendy you look like a guy I know! o.O

Anyway back on topic......

[voltron]

Ugh, why are people so blind? There are worse things in the world than lip-sinking. And yes, Ayu has done it before. And just because a track doesn't sound 100% like a CD track, doesn't mean she's not lip-sinking. Some artists record "stage" versions of the song...they edit the singing, just usually not as much as the actual CD version. Sometimes they use performances from the past that weren't lip-sinked. Anyway, I don't think she lip-sinks all the time, but to say she has NEVER done that is being naive and a stupid fanboy who refuses to see the truth.

But I dont think u can use the assume/think words to comment on something that u cant even prove.
This question will have no absolute ans at all until ayu came to speak for herself.
U shouldnt have comment on she have done it cos u dont even know it yourself. Unless your telling me u have seen her LIVE performing 10 feet infront of you. Even if u did I dont think u would even notice if she have done it pretty well.
Conclusion : This question is stupid as we'll come with no absolute ans and only replies from people who think that they're so smart, they have seen everything but cant even provide a SOLID prove...
No hard feeling but I'm really tired of all these questions where there'll be no absolute ans. And everyone just use the assume/think word. It'll affect ayu in one way or another so please stop it!
We're just acting like those stupid medias with fake reports!
