You do realise that doesn't make any sense, right? It has to sound like *something* in English. Even if its not a commonly used sound, it still sounds like *something* for instance, just a simple "ts" like the sound you'd use to describe a cymbal (like a drum cymbal).
Thats like saying it doesn't have a sound at all, which would defeat the purpose of putting it there in the first place.
I understood it, and am now pronouncing it "Yotes-bah" which seems to be correct. I figured it wasn't as simple as I was pronouncing it. Either way, it's still rather awkward, but as long as I'm getting it close enough, then its alright. I don't like the thought of totaly murdering names. Japan has some very VERY different names than english uses, so its only a given that if you speak english, you're going to have a hard time with some Japanese names.
