Meaning Mnemonic

Just imagine a beast with a lid for a head and fins for feet, running around looking as insane as possible (really imagine it!). When it runs up to you, it shows you the top of its lid-head. On it is written the numbers 666. Why? Because it's a spawn of the devil, and the number six is the devil's number.

Hints

Imagine this beast doing various crazy things, the crazier the better (to help you remember). Make sure all these things are associated with the devil and the devil's number (six), so you can remember the meaning of this kanji.

Reading Mnemonic

Whenever we need to remember the reading ろく we just use the word rock.

So, think about the devil and the devil's number. What is often associated with those things? Why, rock (ろく) and roll is. Imagine the lid-head fin-legged beast suddenly blasting out rock music in the middle of his destructive mayhem.

Hints

Sing along with the monster, if it helps you to remember the reading of this kanji.
