Haha xD Me, too, much of PCDL to me seemed playback, but was sung too bad to actually be playback xD But I guess I know the reason: It's very likely that she decided to sing something playback AFTER her accident, so she wasn't able to record tracks that are as good as her usual playbacktracks, makes sense, doesn't it?

Note to everybody: Please don't kill me xD I didn't name any specific songs and it's only a guess, but it seems really possible to me, because Ayu always wants to give the best possible performance

This happens to me all the time as well, just surprised my mother yesterday when watching TV, because I noticed a playback after around a second and she didn't notice at all...for Ayu it's much harder than for many others, because of her new recordings and her more-or-less realistic mouth movements, she does it so much better than most artists.
But I'd prefer not to notice it at all as well, especially when I'm not sure about it it kills me a little inside, because I can't enjoy the performance as much as when I'm sure it's live, but I want to enjoy it.
