How to say Di Dee Are

Well, I was wondering about a few pronunciations of some of the songs, and I thought others did, too. So I made THIS thread. Welcome.

These are just a few ot the songs that I can't say, and would like to know how:
.59 (point fifty-nine)
Daikenkai (day ken kai)
Gamelan de Couple (?)
Aoi Shoudou (?)
IRRESTIBLEMENT (?)
JANEJANA (they say john john-na in the song)
Kakumei (Kah coo me)
L'amour et la liberte' (La mer et la liber tay)
Matsuri Japan (Mat sue re)
Mikeneko Rock (my ken knee co)
ORION .78 (orion point seventy-eight)
Sakura (sah kur ah)
SOBAKASU FRECKLES (so bach a sue)
TSUGARU (sue gah rue)

I think that's it. (long list. so sorry

) I included how I thought they sounded in parenthesies. Am I right on any of them?

EDIT: Oh, I forgot. This includes artist names, too.

This is how I say them. I'm not all-knowing by any means, so I may be wrong on some/all/whatever.

.59 - Point-Five-Nine
Daikenkai - Die-Ken-Kie
Gamelan de Couple - Gam-Uh-Lon Day Coo-Pull
Aoi Shoudou - Ah-Oy Sho-Doe
Irresisiblement - Eer-Ree-Zis-Te-Bluh-Mont
JaneJana - John-Eh-John-Uh
Kakumei - Kah-Koo-May
L'amour et le liberte - Luh-More Et Luh Lib-Er-Tay
Matsuri Japan - Mah-Soo-Ree Juh-Pan
Mikeneko Rock - Mee-Kay-Neh-Koe Rok
orion.78 - Oh-Ry-Uhn Point Seven Eight
Sakura - Sah-Koo-Ruh
Sobakasu Freckles - Soe-Buh-Kah-Soo Frek-Uhlz
Tsugaru - Soo-Guh-Roo

As for artists, all I can think of is TaQ. I'm sure the real pronunciation is Tok, but out of habit, I still call him Tac.

Ok, thanks. I got a few right. I made this so anyone else could ask about names of songs or artists, if they want. Like RevenG. Is is reveng or reven gee?

Things like that.

Actually if you listen to the song, "Irresistiblement" is pronounced

Eee-ray-zis-tee-bleh-mont,

not phonetically how it's spelled. The song is French.

The ending "T" isnt prounounced in Irrestiblement and it's nasal at the end.

Ir re(z)sist tabluh mon.

The T in Tsugaru isn't silent. Other than that, most of this looks right to me...

ta-su-ga-rue? I always believed the T in Tsugaru to be silent.

Tsu-ga-ru, T is not silent. Its similar to Two. Change W to S
Tsugaru is an old name for northern part of Japan (currently Aomori)
