Metallica Metalluca: Unedited Audio and Recording Notes

Manga Details

The second word makes more sense in Japanese, since the English word “metal” is pronounced as “me-ta-ɾɯ” (see the new reference notes below for more info about these symbols!), and slapping on a “ka” at the end to match the first word makes it contain the name of the protag...

Tucker

NOTES ABOUT GERMAN IN GENERAL:

• Ӧ (o umlaut)
  • Represents a front mid rounded vowel, a sound that no longer exists in English. To make this sound, first make your mouth make an “ey” sort of vowel sound (kind of like the Fonz on Happy Days).
