However, that's why they use this technique after all and it probably takes place in most of Ayu's concerts.
Pre-recorded pretty much means lip-syncing to it like was mentioned, but even if she does 1-3 songs, it's not very common in one concert to lip sync more than 2 songs on average, and these are usually really high pitched up beat songs, that get short versions (in medleys for example).

I'm also sure that if all the songs above were lip-synced (had full pre-recordings) the tabloids would probably eat her up for this since it's kind of a big deal in Japan. They ate her for much less and if not the media then the fans. Even 2ch never mention lip-syncing in their trollings (probably because she doesn't do that much and if she does it's 1-2 songs in a concert usually so it's not worth trolling).

What's more I don't know how Feel the love and CAROLS were lip-synced to be honest since even from the digest video they don't sound/look lip-synced.
I don't think she would lip-sync first song in a concert either, otherwise she would just change to a song she could sing live from the first place.

I don't know about the other 3 but they don't seem like songs she would lip-sync. She would lipsync cuter songs/really high pitched ones maybe that are not ballads.
