NOTE:- There is no letter "L" in Japanese Kana. They could not pronounce it properly and substituted the letter "R" so that Lilydale would be Riridare and Lillimur would be Ririmur. That is why passwords being used contained more than one "L".
The vowels are pronounced in the European style :-
A - AH E - AY I - EE O - OH U - OO
There maybe errors in the phonetics but this is all from memory going back to 1945. Not too bad for a 90 year old eh?
