I don't think that's fair to say, especially since most Japanese singers never have to leave Japan. Whereas American singers are almost always known worldwide, and the big ones have to promote in A LOT of countries with a lot more hectic schedule.

And I think Ayu has lipsinked before. I mean, I know she's done the Fly High, intro to Evolution, etc. But I think Arena Tour 2003-2004 was at least partially done with lipsink. Her voice sounded WAY too good in songs like Teddy Bear and Memorial Address...a LOT better than other lives from those songs and others. Her voice is even pretty hoarse on the new album and that's studio edited...I just don't think she can sing like that anymore.
