"Million" is _hyaku sen_ (hundred ten-thousand). Saying "sen sen" would
be like saying "hundred hundred" instead of "ten thousand" in English.

Correct (altho, it's more like [sEm= man=]
Likewise, "Billion" is _juu oku_ (ten hundred-million)
10: Juu
100: Hyaku
1000: Sen
10,000: Man
100,000: Juu man
1,000,000: Hyaku man
10,000,000: Sen man
100,000,000: Oku
1,000,000,000: Juu oku
10,000,000,000: Hyaku oku
100,000,000,000: Sen oku
1,000,000,000,000: Chou
It's exactly as if one were to write 1,0000 10,0000 100,0000 1000,0000
1,0000,0000 etc.
