From December 2007 to now, I still don't know how to pronounce Seijin (or half a dozen other words) and I haven't gotten an audible version.
Too stubborn (or Scott's) I guess <but I think I just repeated myself>

There's loads of Japanese sprinkled throughout the books, I think since Chihiro is a Japanese name he was probably Japanese himself, he inserted quite a few native words into the canon via his book which have filtered into everyday use.
(at last learning that language has been useful!)

It's pronounced "say" as in to speak and "jin" as in the alcoholic drink (gin and tonic).
"Say-jin"
It means, oddly enough, "saint" (literally, holy-man).
