It's probably due to how that transition almost makes an alveolar flap (try saying "but i" really fast. Sounds like you're sayinh a "D" almost if you flap your Ts. Same thing with "city" and "water" sounding like "cidy" and "wader" respectively). It's weird because the japanese R is basically almost an alveolar in position and in Japanese music it's basically that L and R are interchangeable at the beginning of a word or syllable. Just ask namie amuro (rearry, balelina, lope, crock, etc). But hearing ayu make an L sound at the end of the word? I've heard Namie doing it but it's something I can't explain. Maybe it's difficult for them to make the English alveolar flap and have to approximate to the Japanese R/L and its position that is CLOSE but NOT EQUAL to the English one.
The bilive thing is like... maybe ayu didn't use a schwa sound (say "appalled" and stress the second syllable. That "uh" for the first sound is a schwa and doesn't exist in Japanese).
This is just me rambling on. I can see why I have a linguistics degree lol.

People brought up the "bilieve" because the on-screen text of the PV when she says her ending monologue has a typo in it. You'd think they would double check something like that before it goes out for release...
