In the film world it's pronounced "Wata-na-bee". Obviously Neal knows the correct Japanese pronounciation, but in my experience the above is how it is commonly pronounced.

[Jesda]

The word is stupid.Breasts are good.

[redtop91]

^ Especially JoJo's

Another word that gets mispronounced to much is Hakosuka. The correct pronunciation of it is...

Hah-Kohs-ka.

Hako-suka (hahko-suka) sounds so lame.
