Can we stop having an explanation of the difference between the Japanese and English pronunciations of "Fukushima" every time it's mentioned? We're speaking English here, how about we just use that pronunciation and leave it without comment. When talking about Argentina, we don't comment every time that it's pronounced /arhentina/ in Spanish.
BTW, Japanese has many dialects, and they often differ in where they place the emphasis in a word. To add to this, if you really want the Japanese pronunciation, you have to pronounce the f as a bilabial fricative rather than as a labio-dental fricative, pronounce the u's unrounded, and use a pitch accent instead of a stress accent.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
I doubt there are many Kamikaze pilots left from WWII, their job description sort of doesn't lend itself to high survival rates afterall Thom.
BTW, I think Kamikaze translates to something like Divine Wind.
