Sort of dumb question: How do you pronounce "Crea"?
I just noticed that I've never heard how that name is pronounced. Is it: Cray--ah, Cree-a like in the word "creative", or is it another way?

Try to find the Honda CREA CMs and listen to the way it is pronounced there. But anyway, it's more like "Cray--ah".

Ah! I used to have one a long time ago! A friend burned me a disc with all sorts of Ayu stuff, but sadly, I lost it.

It's pronounced "cray-uh". The Japanese for it is "ku re ya".

Crea is the you (formal) conjugation of the verb "to believe" or "to create".

I just say Cree-ah. Don't care how the japanese pronounce it. It's the only way it doesn't sound silly to me
