yes, you're right. they used autotunes a lot.
anyway, do you know PCDL has a lot of pre-recorded songs?
medley (especially ANGEL'S SONG-I have video if you want i will give you.).. SCAR.. Over... the TV version of PCDL on 12.31 proves the truth. she missed words but sound is streaming. (example. when she sings 'Over', the part 'it's over' in middle, she put down the microphone but the sound is streaming. but on DVD ver. she doesn't put down the microphone and she sang that part. it's scary thing though!! they mixed 2008.12.30 and 2008.12.31 for release. And they(Maybe it was WOWOW TV) broadcasted the same live on another day. they changed that scene.)
and she released PCDL CD for NEXT LEVEL.
i'm sure you knew these facts.
as you know she has been using pre-recorded songs for a long time.
maybe she used pre-recorded songs on A BEST LIVE too.
but i don't care about it.
and did you listen what i linked files? if you did, you could find what i said. it's almost same. i think anyone can't deny the fact.

in my case. i like this LIVE CD. i enjoyed this CD. still love her live.
but they advertise 'it's live CD'. it's little bit dishonor.
they have no sense of honor.
the CD's title is 'LIVE'. but they use pre-recorded songs on LIVE CD. can you believe?
I understand she uses pre-recording songs for LIVE.
if she uses pre-recorded songs on LIVE, I DO NOT CARE about it.
in fact, i don't like pre-recording but seriously i don't care.
but releasing LIVE cd is absolutely ridiculous. and they are selling the CDs.
i feel uncomfortable. she did already before though. (PCDL CD.)
i think she will have to never release live cd if she uses pre-recorded songs for concert. or she has to exclude the pre-recorded songs.
also i think she is to blame for that. i'm 14 years fan of ayu. i love her from 1999. but if she goes wrong way, i will blame her because i'm a fan of her. i can't stand that she loose her own pride in these days... choosing these tracks to include is disappointing decision i think..

I noticed something I don't understand with the HEAVEN perf.
You can hear a "glitch" when she sings "Koraekirezu namida aFUreta". And I always noticed this issue with the CD version! She must pronounce "afureta" in a funny way or there is something weird here.

The prerecorded tracks is not a real issue IMO. She proves she is working on polishing her voice and there is a result. It's not like a quarter of the live was "fake". We are not back to the PCDL era. I just hope the tendency to use prerecorded vocals is not back.
