Though nobody can be 100% sure but as I said when she uses playback it's flawless recording like in Step you or Angel's song with no single flat note.
And talking about DVD I'd say that they just fix her vocals with a software similar to Melodyne or Auto-tune and I tend to always here the most obvious correction parts so of course it sounds different from actual live but it doesn't mean that they "replace" her vocals.

I think we should look at the example for I Am... from last year's CDL.
I think we all agree that it's lipsync because her mouth was caught in different position as the vowel, and as Japanese speaker, I can say it was impossible for that sound to come from that mouth shape.
However, I Am... was far from perfect recording... it was flat in the chorus, but it was still almost surely a lipsync.
Artists who lipsync like Ayu aren't lipsyncing because they want to sound perfect. They are probably lipsyncing because they know if they sing high songs like I am, they won't be able to continue because they're straining their voice. However, I am was great as a performance, it had the right mood to start the CDL, I think that's why she wanted it to be included.
And I think that lipsyncing doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. If the recording is not perfect, but the performance atmosphere is still created, then isn't just fine?? LOL
