Not quite. Listen to the song. You can hear them saying "jah neh jah nah" fairly clearly. (Soft 'j', by the way.)

Yea, I've been thinkin that this thread is getin kinda pointless, cause for the rest of the time, people are just gonna be correcting me the whole time. People think that things are said differently, and chances are, im probably wrong on a lot of them.... so mods, feel free to lock. blink.gif

OP is wrong. Gradiusic Cyber is pronounced... Gradius-ic... not that hard...

And whoever said DXY is Dixie... yeah... look at my name... That's how you say it.

All of these pronunciations are useless, because they don't show where the stress is.

For example, soo-gah-roo could mean SOO-gah-roo, or it could mean soo-GAH-roo. I've heard it both ways. The first one is correct.

Irresistibilement is:

ear-ray-zee-STAY-blay-mohn.

Japanese is a rather monotone language; they don't stress specific syllables. Native speakers use a pitch accent.

Sakura is pronounced like "Sock-oo-rah". As for Irresistibilement, if it's really pronounced all crazy like Den said then that's just weird. I'm gonna keep saying "Irresistible" followed by "ment". Tsugaru should be "Tsoo-gah-roo", with no stress on any specific syllable. It's not "TSOO-guh-roo", it's "tsoo-gah-roo". I'm kinda confused on Gradiusic Cyber, since all the pronunciations you guys have listed have been conflicting with one another. I've always sai "GRAD-ee-OO-zick SAI-berr", but now I'm seeing it pronounced with a random "t" after "Gradius", or with an "A" sound like in "hay" instead of like in "grass".

My god...

Sakura - SAH-KOO-RAH
Gradiusic Cyber - GRADIUS(You know... like GRADIUS the game)-IC and Cyber should be OBVIOUS

My god... There is no more debate over these songs because I AM RIGHT okay? OKAY!? @_@

I love how DDRfreak continues arguing AFTER the point has been PROVEN.

*ahem*

No. It is most definitely Sah - Koo - (L-R)ah. Which means Cherry Blossum or anything really associated with cherries except for the fruit itself which is: Sakuranbo

It may sound like Sa-Kra when a Japanese person says it fast, but the "u" is not silent. There is only one truly silent character in all of Japanese and it is a small "tsu", which signifies a pause. The reason I put (L-R), is because it's not a "r". In English we don't have a character that sounds like the Japanese "L-R" sound, so we just use an "r", even though is sounds more like a mix between an "L" and a "D".

Hope this make sense. This is the closest example I can come up with. Just use beginning sound of each word.
