It is more commonly 'si', though, within words (like how 'ch' is often 'k' but what children are taught as 'ch' is actually from the german 'tsch' (to be technical, high german and old english [beowulf-era] separated quite a while ago, but, that's a moot point), and 'sh' is often 'sch' or 'ti'); exempli gratia magis, perfusion, occlusion, intrusion, confusion, .... wait, you gave 'erasure' as an example, the 's' (zh/sh) is always pronounced voicelessly where I come from. If you want an example of 'j', try "dijon" (as in dijon mustard), though that is a French loanword (I think). [aside: I've always taken issues with the dz (no, I'm not hunting down the 3 with a triangular top) approach typically used in IPA for english. To me, a hard j is a palatalized d, not a blended consonant... the IPA convention just doesn't strike me as an affricate; it's a plosive and a fricative, but that doesn't make it obviously an affircate! and, thank you, james tauber, for bringing up the linguistic terminology.. sometimes that is the best way to clear up confusion, or so I've found!] … and don’t forget what dictionaries always list for zh: ‘azure’ which is perhaps more clear when listing ‘zh’ as is common.

In my case, since I'm a Filipina, I, or should i say, We pronounce DJANGO as "JANG-GO".. yeah, with the hard J sound.. I don't know if you're familiar with Django Bustamante.. who is famous in Billiards.. i think it basically depends on your orientation.
