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

I went in 5 concerts and I also saw a live TV and for all this, Ayumi didn't lip synch. I'm sure of that cause you can clearly hear when she's crying or smiling in her voice. And I should add that she doesn't fake her tears, cause she doesn't cry at the same moment in concert. I saw the ARENA 2003-4 in Osaka and she didn't cry and sang perfectly (without lip synching) Teddy bear and Memorial address, it was amazing (one of my best Ayu concert for emotion maybe). I saw also 2 differents concerts of the MY STORY TOUR in the first one she cried during replace only, in the other she didn't but was about during Moments and did cry during walking proud.
In the CDL2004-5 she didn't lip synch during M, it's was her real voice, yes Ayumi can do some really good performances in live, why people think then that she's lip synching....

For the songs like UNITE!, evolution, Greatful days she sings on her own voice, in concert her voice covers the background voice, but if she doesn't sing you can clearly hear the background voice (like in the CDL2001-2 in the TV version since the microphone didn't work perfectly and finally here yes Ayumi did lip synch during the chorus).

Finally please remember that the DVD are edited, you can't judge on DVDs.

There is only few times where she did lip synch, in a TV live of SEASONS at Music Museum, during UNITE! and evolution in the CDL2002-3 since she was sick and maybe at Asia song festival in Korea, I think it's all.

Yeah, I don't think her emotion is faked either. She didn't cry at either Hiroshima concert that I went to, but I heard she was tears a plenty at the last concert in Tokyo. Wait, actually she did cry at the one where they gave her a cake for the anniversary of Poker Face - she didn't cry durring any of the songs though.

I think the Seasons performance on Music Museum is one of the only lives that I don't have. Know where I can get it?
