As for me - I have never heard it pronounced by a native English
speaker anyother way. But then my sampple is pretty much limited to
Silicon Valley, in the neighborhood around Netscape in Mountain View.

And I have heard plenty of native Japanese speakers, including more then
a few who have Godzilla merchadise in their cubes, pronounce it
routinely precisely the same way!
