@Priestica606

It's Izo.

[sylvainthefrenchman]

Miike is an acquired taste, like bubble teas and sushis... But once you get used to his style, there's no turning back. Ichi the Killer is such a flashy film it's hard to compare to the rest of his work. Maybe you should also try Visitor Q, Happiness of the Katakuris and Izo. They're quite good...

Ok. is Miike pronounced mea kay or mee key? I got two different pronunciation comments. Sorry for the previous spelling error. I know his name is Takashi. ;-) Thanks for your help.

[sylvainthefrenchman]

mee key... im pretty sure thats how Tom Mes pronounces it and he's a Miike scholar. I think I've heard it pronounced like that elsewhere too. But between mea kay and mee key, that's better than most of the other ways people pronounce the name.

How is miike pronounced? I hear the other part of his name takeshi prononounced but not the miike part.

[sylvainthefrenchman]

Actually it's takAshi and then Miike is pronounced mee-key

My only favorite Miike film is Ichi the Killer, Gozu is weird, Audition is boring, it's the ending that gave it some spice

To pronounce Miike as the Japanese do, it would be 'me' [like the English word, but with a slightly longer 'e' sound] and k as in the letter 'K'. So, kind of like Mee K.

Here's a general guide to Japanese vowels as they relate to English:

a -> sounds like 'ah'

i -> sounds like 'e' as in 'me'

u -> 'oo' as in 'food'

e -> 'eh' as in 'may'

o -> 'o' as in 'show'
