You are a very sweet teacher, i learned this song by ear thanks to a cover from one ok rock but now i understand it better

Something I notice a lot is that she(Hikaru Utada) is actually pronouncing R as L in multiple places. Listen closely to "imagoro" as well as the first "darou". Another strong example of this is when she sings "Wasuretakunai" in the second verse. It very strongly sounds like "Wasuletakunai". however in "kaori", "irun" as well as the entire line of "Dare wo omotterun darou" she pronounce it more like you would expect (an R/D hybrid) She is Japanese/American and speaks English very well so differentiating between L and R should not be a problem for her. So are these stylistic choices? I've heard lots of other Japanese vocalists do this. Or there any other reason why the Japanese R is so inconsistent? Mostly I heard women do this so I thought perhaps it something like it sounds cuter or more feminine or something. But I have heard men do this as well so that can't be it.
