Me and my friend have an argument over this and I want to know which one it is, or if they're both wrong.

yeah it's:

bi( like double ee as in "s'ee'")-sho(long o)-nen.

Japanese is all pronounced the same way. So think of a series that has a Japanese title with the letters you want in them and it should turn out the same way you pronounce the letters.

O- long "o" like.... K"o"d"o"m"o" n"o" "O"m"o"cha. (so many o's in that title..... all pronounced long "o" O.O)

I- ee sound like...... Ayash"i" no Ceres and Fush"i"g"i" Yuug"i"

^^ just small hints on Japanese ^^
