Then why did she do it in Theme of A-Nation 03? And why do fans always seem to conveniently ignore that performance when discussing the lip sync issue? Because as much as people say there is no proof, I'm sorry but that video is proof - it is undeniable. So my question is, if she is going to lip synch a song as easy as Theme of A-Nation, why are people so unwilling to accept the possibility that she would lip synch songs in AT08 that are much more difficult? Why are people unwilling to accept that Marrionette, don't leave me alone, etc, all sound the same (not just the tone of voice, but the length she holds the notes in each performance) in all the bootleg or tv news broadcasts we have?

Now of course, Maikeru is correct that this probably won't ever be fully resolved. (until Ayu makes another theme of a-nation mistake and it is caught on close up) But I also think the problem lies less with whether Ayu lip synchs or not and more with why the fans are so seemingly personally offended by the idea that she sometimes does. [taskin.ayu] had the best response in that regard - it's lip synched, but who cares.
