Pronunciation advice - Yoshihiko Noda

So Japan gets its 6th Prime Minister in 5 years. His name is Yoshihiko Noda. Japanese names are easy to pronounce, especially for Indians. In any case, here is the pronunciation of the Japanese PM's name.

yo-she-he-coe no-Dah (Yo is the rappers' yo; she and he are like the pronouns, Coe is like the famous runner Sebastian Coe, no is like the opposite of yes, Dah is pronounced as the first syllable of darn). In Hindi this would read as योशीहीको नोडा.
