Pronounciations

I've always wondered:
Is Konamix pronounced like dynamics or Kona- Mix? Meaning how is that A pronounced?
Also is .59... dot 59? Period 59? 59 hundredths?
Oh the headache! >.<

my pronunciations:

.59 = fifty-nine
Sakura = Sack-yura
Kakumei = Kah-koo-may
Orion. 78 AMeuro Mix = O-ryan 78 Uh-myur-oh Mix
Matsuri Japan = Mat-syuri Japan
Tsugaru = Sew-guh-roo
Dam Dariram (SOOOO many people have a hard time pronouncing this) = Dahm Dah-di-rahm

well, Fr0sty, considering how Konami is pronounced as "Kohn-ahmi", and not "Kohn-Am-ee", i think your second choice would be right.

and i didn't know it was A M Euro, thanks for pointing that out, Tekked.

I tend to go with Japanese pronunciations of the Japanese songs(i.e.- Sakura: Sah-koo-ra). In reality, it's no big deal.

For Konamix... I guess it's: Ko-nah-mix.

When dealing with songs such as the Orions and what not...I use the phrases, "The really slow one..." or "The really fast one..." etc.

.59 = ten-go-ku

And it's "pronunciations."

I think Konamix = ko-NAH-mix. Like Konami.

But in English, you stress the first syllable of Sakura. I hear suh-KUR-a all the time. That's not right. It's more like SAH-koo-rah.

I've always thought it to be Sah-koo-rah

I was sternly lectured that Tsugaru=Soo-Guh-Roo sounds too much like Subaru (the car) and they thought it was "soo-GAA(long a)-roo

As for Dam Dariram, I just say it like the singer does.
