Note to recorder:

Hi,
can a real Japanese pronunce exactly this name?

砂月 (Satsuki).
Can you pronunce more than one time, in different speed?
Sometimes my friends (not japanese) says me that
"Satsuki" is pronunced "Saa-SKI", but to say the truth
I always pronunce it as "Sat-sooki"... but they says almost "SA(t)SKI". For me is wrong.
I've listened sometimes then pronunce from Japanese (maybe) and they seems says "Sat-soo-ki" and not "Sat-ski"...
Please can you finally give me the exact pronunce ?
The first more slow and more normal speed (in more different pronunciations).
I really want to learn to pronounce this name!

Thanks!

I'm native Japanese, I've never seen this Chinese characters as a name.
We usually imagine the characters when we heard the sound of satsuki as "五月” anything like that.
But we can decide almost all characters as our names.
So this is available in a sence.

Yes, is rare find this name with that kanjis, because it's a 'art name' an 'artistic name', not a 'everyday' name, that's why it was not usually used in Japan :)
