Nope. Here it is...straight from my Japanese wife...

Ta (tah) as in ta-ta for now!
Ka (kah) as in the snake from the Jungle Book.
Mi (me) as in, "how ya like me now!"
Ne (ne) as in the first sound in nevermind. It's a shorter sound than "nay"
That sounds like I thought it would. I am not Japanese, but I did grow up in Hawaii with lots of Japanese people around and have watched a lot of anime. (I have been corrected on karate and karaoke before.)
