I agree with Ran.  A mnemonic system that deals only with kana is totally
useless.  In fact, it's worse than using old-fashioned Hepburn or Kunrei-shiki
romanization.

If you want to represent Japanese in ASCII, you use old-fashioned
romanization.  If you want to represent Japanese in the proper characters, you
use ISO-2022 to encode JIS.  This is a clean dichotomy.  Mnemonic for Japanese
makes about as much sense as bicycles for fish.
