Why do I hear a lot of "L" sounds in Japanese music?


I'm a super beginner, but I like to listen to Japanese music and I often hear
some "L" sounds. Given the fact that there is no "L" column on hiragana
tables, I assume that is some other sound, perhaps "R", being pronounced as
"L" (even though I hear the R's normally).

Can someone please explain me that?




I think it is because we don't have an exact version of the R present in
Japanese, which is somewhere between L and R. When I was learning English I
couldn't tell the difference between beach and b**ch, which proved to be quite
comedic, however, the point is sounds are unique for each language. Our brain
will interpret them as the closest thing we know, especially since the
differences are often minimal. I also feel like I sometimes hear a clean L in
Japanese. It could be due to different accents where the Japanese R is a bit
closer to our L. Don't quote me on this though.
