How to pronounce "Shuichi"

Or,

Feeling weird at 3am in the morning

The name Shuichi is Japanese. In Japan, male names often signify expectations that the parents have of him.

Take, for example, my name. The japanese character breakdown is:
My Name is Here
The first character, pronounced shu (or, perhaps, shoe), is the Japanese character for outstanding.

The second character, pronouned ichi, is the Japanese character for the number one, which signifies that I was the first-born.

So, since my parents had expected great things out of me, and I was the first-born child, my name is Shuichi.
