Oh and R-L is not the same as B-V.. Japanese phonological perception CAN distinquish between B and V, but generally not between R and L.
Anyway why I said 'are you kidding me', because your post was extremely useless, with just one word.

Sorry if I offended u with my post, that was not my intention =)
About b-v, i was saying that they usually uses "b" on foreign words that use "v", cuz their alphabed doesn't have a "v" (or a "l"). And yeah, I heard japanese people pronouncing "v" as "b" more than once
About the "r" and "l" I'm sorry, I forgot that not all languages pronounce "r" the same way as japanese and portuguese do (cuz both languages pronounces it in the same way most of the time)
