Over, on the other hand, is suddenly in sync. Was the original wrong, or is it fake now? In the original she didn't have her mic near her mouth when before the last chorus she sings It's Over, so that was lip sync. But now it IS near her mouth, etc. What happened? Wtf? o_O Really strange.

As for the mysterious "yo-chan!" lip sync during the evolution bridge, they left that in so I doubt that's lip sync.

Thoughts?
The CDL happens on 2 nights. So my guess would be that in the case of Over, they used a shot from the 1st performance. Honestly, imo unfortunately I think that every headset mic song in the concert is suspect (especially the ones at the beginning of the concert) but the only provable one is of course Angel's Song. There is just too big of a disparity between her vocals in the songs where she is obviously singing live (such as Who, Independent, Trauma etc that is pretty much what her live voice typically sounds like these days) and then the songs like Angel's Song and what not. That and the fact that during most of the headset mic songs you hear no breathing or any mic sounds at all. I remember at AT04 (when I saw it live, not DVD) that I loved the whole performance but wished she didn't use a headset mic because in certain words you could always hear like a popping sound when certain syllables are pronounced. (I'm not sure how to explain the sound well, but you get the point I think) however in this concert, even though its a live broadcast, you didn't hear anything like that.

Like I said, not provable I suppose, but that was just my gut feeling when I watched this show. It really saddens me that it seems her TV performances these days are the only ones you can say without a doubt are live. We never really had to talk about this lip syncing stuff much in the past because she rarely ever did it (if at all.)
