Default How do you pronounce "Mugen"

How do the Japanese pronounce "Mugen". I've just seen the word in print and have never heard anyone actually say it.

Is it: moo-gen
moo-jen
or
moo-yen?

Just curious.

It is pronounced..

MOO-GEN were "Gen" rhymns with "Hen" there is no J sound.

G in Japanese is pronounced as "Guh" .. not "Juh".....

Example would be O' Genki Desu Ka?

Oh and TEIN is pronounced as TAIN rhymns with TRAIN. NOT TEEN, TE-IN or TINE or TIN..
