Totally forgot about it until I watched some more recent performances of Namie e.g. What I Did For Love but also from her latest tour. Her Kouhaku performance of Hero and seeing excerpts from 5 Major Domes reminded me of that. Anybody else who noticed it with Namies tours etc.?
Well, given the fact how much she dances, uses her voice it'd be understandable.
I don't feel it is autotuned; what it is though is a strong backing track with her singing over her own voice which makes it sound much more "full" live. This is the case in the choruses for just about every live performance she has done from around the mid-2000s onward.
