 The single most important thing to do in order to ensure that the program functions correctly is to set your locale to Japanese. Setting your locale to Japanese allows your computer to run UTAU with the ability to use non-unicode characters, such as Kanji, Katakana, and Hiragana. UTAU is programmed using these characters, and most Voicebanks and UST files use them. Using UTAU without locale can even cause problems as well, such as gibbersh instead of Japanese; think "?‘¶asa". You need locale, and there's no way around it.
