That means that they probably took the same playback for it, we should just check that and maybe well find out a bit, only thing i know is that CDL0607 the first computerized voice of ayu in until that Day... sounded horrible, up to parts where you didnt hear her much, so i think that performance at least was live, they would have computerized it better(like in AT07) if they had time to edit a playback
No, I wasn't at AT07 actually. I just remember thinking at A-Nation that those two didn't sound or look live at all and that its a possibility then that they used the same versions on the tour. Then combined with Evan Chan's comment to the chinese press that he thought at least some of that tour was lip synched makes it more probable. Honestly though, on the DVD it appears that almost nothing in that concert was live. So either AT07 is her most edited DVD ever for some reason or she really did lip synch quite a bit in that concert.

To me, I felt it was a fundamental change in her vocals, so I noticed it immediately. She went from having not so strong vocals at the begining of the concert to suddenly have much more strong, steady vocals for 4 straight songs (even though she is moving around more in those songs) and then immediately after that, her voice reverts back to how it sounded in the first few songs of the concert. All I can say though is my opinion based on my experience and then how it sounds on DVD and I just never thought that any of that section was live but the most obvious were Marrionette and DLMA.

It does get discussed on some Japanese forums too, but it seems not until maybe the last couple of years that its starting to get discussed a bit more seriously. Which is another thing that leads me to believe that prior to the last few years she didn't lip synch at all or at least very little.
