I heard that Ayu has never lip synch, is that true?
I came across a jpop forum and one poster mentioned that Ayu was the only artist who she has never seen lip synching. Is that true? Come to think of it, i've never seen Ayu lip synching from watching her countdown lives etc. I have a few of her live DVD concerts and i watched a few earlier and i couldn't find a song where she lip synch. So, i'm guessing this is a good fact to point out to other fans to make Ayu feel superior? So what do you think? Do you think she had lip synched?

I don't think the Japanese public like seeing artists lip-synch that much... It seems like whenever BoA is in Korea she lip-synchs, but she does less in Japan...
I don't think any artist should lip-synch, I really don't care how tiring their stage routine is... |

I heard BoA lip synchs in almost 90% of her Korea Performances, which i thought it's very unpro. And yeah, i think this is something to be proud of being an Ayu fan. |

Its not just BoA .. A LOT of Korean singers lip-synch. Probably something to do with the TV Stations or special events that they have to perform at. BoA has no problem singing live. |

i don't believe that Ayumi lip-syncs, but I'm kind of wondering about the Hanabi II PV. If she didn't lip-sync or match the music to certain points in the video, then major props to her. 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.

I don't think she lip synchs at all. And if she does, she's got me fooled.

The only time I've ever seen her lip-synch is the rap part of some old TV performances of "Fly high"... but sometimes she just lets it play and doesn't even lip-synch. She's never made an effort to hide that that's just the original vocal track. She really doesn't lip synch at all, i don't think. But, as was mentioned before, not many jpop singers do.

I think lip-sync is too dull and dumb for an artist, what's the point getting on stage and not singing with your own voice, that's what people wanna hear, or else you don't even need to bother going up the stage at the first place.

Yup. I agree with all of you.
No matter HOW tiring the routine is.. dude, people pay their hard earned money to see their favorite artist perform and they expect the singer to SING.. not lip synch.. it's sad how American singers do it =__= Japanese singers work themselves harder than American artists do actually... Yes, and another reason to LOVE Ayu ![]() ![]() ![]()

And I think Ayu has lipsinked before. I mean, I know she's done the Fly High, intro to Evolution, etc. But I think Arena Tour 2003-2004 was at least partially done with lipsink. Her voice sounded WAY too good in songs like Teddy Bear and Memorial Address...a LOT better than other lives from those songs and others. Her voice is even pretty hoarse on the new album and that's studio edited...I just don't think she can sing like that anymore. |

Yeah, Ayu has never been afraid to let the original track play on some parts (performance of AUDIENCE, and the rap in Fly high sometimes).
In concert now, they even have a mixing station to have the same sound effects (too late, flower garden @ STADIUM TOUR 2002). You can hear the difference between the live version remixed and the studio track. And of course, there are some pretty bad performances of Ayu spread throughout her time (but she has gotten a lot better now!) |

At producing albums.. Japanese are faster and put more time into it, I feel. To be honest with you, I barley even listen to American music, just whenever I'm in the car, so that's probably why I feel more proud with Japanese singers than with American singers. I have more respect toward Japanese music

Indeed. When you not only hear recycled music... but really nasty lyrics like repeating verses of "lean back"... it sorta just irritates me. At least rappers don't usually lip sync. But the lyrics don't really make up for that -_-.;;;
