I've once heard from a friend who was into j-rock that despite many bands have french names - like L'arc en Ciel - you don't use the original french pronounciation, but the pronounciation declared by the band themselves...

Not sure if it's solely becouse the Japanese can't really pronounce French well (like English) and people would use their 'own' pronounciation (rarukku an shieru) anyway, or if it's becouse they consiously adopt the Japanese pronounciation...
