Grasshopper Takes a Jab at Ayumi Hamasaki for Lip-syncing Yesterday, at their "Grasshopper Forever Collection Autograph Concert", the trio performed their hit "Forever" and as the music started, Grasshopper's Choi Yat Ji stated in front of a crowd of thousands, "Don't think we are lip-syncing, we are not like those from another country [Ayumi Hamasaki], we are the real deal." Afterwards, Choi Yat Ji was asked whether the news of Ayumi allegedly lip-syncing prompted him to make that statement on stage, he said, "I saw the news when I returned from vacation yesterday. The opening of our song had some background vocals and I did not want the audience to think we were lip-syncing." He further states that he did not see Ayumi in concert, but as an experienced dancing singer, there is no way to dance on stage for 30 minutes and not have heavy breathing. He says, "When a singer is singing and dancing live, their live singing is bound to be different from their CD version, and there is bound to be breathing sounds. The breathing is a sign of a hard working performance and not a sign of a singer not having enough air. This is live!" Source: Sina.com.hk
