Japanese Pronunciation Guide - Be Careful with your Pronunciation!

Alrighty, so one of the things lots of new UTAU creators struggle with is their pronunciation. So I'm here to lend a helping hand!
Hopefully this guide will get you pronouncing Japanese like a pro in no time.

Let's get started, shall we?

First: Vowels
OK, so the vowels are actually rather simple when you think about them, and chances are they will be the least of the issues you run in to.

A/あ: This one is very simple. Ah. Aaaaah. Like the "a" in Blah or the "o" in Pot or Hot....

Just a note: A lot of the consonants are hard to write down how to pronounce correctly, so I just wrote down how I think you can get closest to it. I hope it's sufficient!

Great tutorial! Although, for A, I don't thing the pot/hot thing makes sense unless you're American o3o" we Brits pronounce them with an "o" instead of an "a", becuase that would make it like pawt or hawt.

I was gonna post a review but theres a 140 character minimum, so, this is really good and i'm happy that it covers everything, usually these guides just cover vowels and the r sound.

Also where you've put D : it's changed it to an emote.
