[Facts] Re: Akiko
in reply to a message by ClaudiaS
I would beg to differ based on how my sensei and my friend Chika say it. They are both natives of Japan. Sensei from Tokyo, Chika from the rural northern end of Honshu.
Back in 1775
My Marine Corps came alive
First there came the color gold
To show the world that we are bold
Then there came the color red
To show the world the blood we shed
OOH RAH
Semper Fidelis

I think there is no stress, but to our ears there might be one ^^; Because people her tend to stress a syllable too much, a real stress would be too much in japanese ... but simply listen to it somewhere on youtube, for example in videos about the Akiko Suzuki, when they announce her name at the beginning ^^
