Stop overcomplicating Japanese pronunciation

Honestly people freak out way too much about pitch accent. Having studied Spanish and a bit of Italian, it is basically just the exact same thing as stress accent. You literally just raise your pitch on the second syllable of every word. People overcomplicate the vowels when it's just standard Latin vowels. Just use Spanish phonetics and you will sound native immediately.
