At first I introduce how to say Klingon names and words in Japanese. Japanese language has same situation with Klingon, i.e. it has not some sounds contained in English (for example, f,v, th etc.). It is very interesting to see that same word is pronounced in different ways by each languages.

The Opening Narration from TOS

Space, the final frontier... These are the voyages of starship Enterprise. Its five year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before.

The Opening Narration for Japanese Version

Pronunciation of Japanese Phrase

Uchuu, sore wa jinrui ni nokosareta saigo no kaitakuchi dearu... Soko ni wa jinrui no souzou wo zessuru atarashii bummei, atarashii seimei ga machiuketeiru ni chigainai. Kore wa jinrui saisho no kokoromi to shite, go-nenkan no chousa-hikou ni tobitatta uchuusen Yuu-Esu-Esu Entaapuraizu-gou no kyoui ni michita monogatari de aru.

Literal Translation form Japanese Phrase

Space, It is the final frontier left for the human race... There, new civilization and new life, that is unimaginable for human, must be in wait (for the human race). This is a surprising story of starship U.S.S. Enterprise, that have launched for five year researching-flight as the first attempt of the human race.
