I'm pretty sure the u-dropping predominantly occurs only in word-
final positions, so "gozaimasu" will sound like "gozaimas", but
"kuringon-go" will still sound like "kuringon-go".
At the very least, the "kr" in what you wrote would NOT be the "kr"
consonant cluster, but more like "k'r" (where the "'" is a break in
the pronunciation, not the tlhIngan Hol glottal stop).
