This is the tracklist of the HK concert (from alternarist review post):

01. evolution
02. UNITE!
03. taskinst (clip)
04. 1 LOVE
05. until that Day...

06. M
07. appears

08. part of Me
09. Secret
(dancers with hula hoops)
10. kiss o' kill
11. Not yet (clip)
12. SURREAL
13. AUDIENCE
14. Boys & Girls

encore
15. Memorial address
16. SEASONS (original mix)
17. flower garden
18. Humming 7/4
19. Who...

so bascially only 16 songs have singing in it. (Theres 2 interlude, 1 intro songs)
theres about 7 fast paced songs not including kiss o kill... before the encore. evolution and unite! are the opening songs (does she need to lipsync those? especially she sings them like every concerts?) after that there is a short clip which it can give her time to rest a short bit. Then came 1 LOVE and until that day...(I cant comment on those 2 performaces as I dont know what exactly shes doing) after that, a solo piano and 4 ballads after that + clip and than kiss o kill and the 3 old concert songs. encore, then 2 ballads, 2 fast paced songs and lastly 1 ballad to end the concert. I dont think ayu lip synched in boys & girls since she interacts with ppl, and also in audience she forgot some lyrics. So if ayu were lipsynching, the most possible songs would be 1 LOVE and or until that day...(we seen her perform it live before in countdown CDTV for 1 LOVE and BEST of cdl tv version of until that day.) I didnt go the concert so I dont know if it sounds similar to those performances. but we know shes capable of singing them live.

For someone like ayu whose been like having tours every year, a-nations, etc need to lipsync for a spread out concert like that? Out of the whole concert, not including the interludes, theres only 4 songs from secret and 1 new song: part of me. The rest, shes done them atleast more than 2 times before in a tour (maybe second time for memorial address but that doesnt matter) I dont think its difficult for her to sing those songs well while dancing. Even though sometimes she forgets the lyrics but atleast she was singing live. Ayu is not known for her dancing. She doesnt have difficult dance moves that would need back up tracks for her to lipsync on. She have 2 back up vocals to support her. The clips and music solos in between performances is for her to change and rest for a little bit. She goes to the qym and have personal trainer and that can help her. Remember the documentary about BEST of cdl? all those she had to do? and its only for 2 concerts! Imagine how many rehearsals she have to do for a tour and especially her first asia tour!!!

Didnt BoA went to this thing that helps her being able to sing and dance well at the same time? I think if you practice and rehearsal alot for your concerts, Im sure its possible to have great results. Practice makes perfect. Japanese are known to be hard working and ayu works very hard to make her concerts as great as possible. She was trying to learn english and chinese too so she could commuicate with her non-japanese fans too. All those preperations and hard work and this is what she got. But Im glad a lot of ayu fans from HK are supporting ayu.
