  FAQ by Me
  
  I've installed everything that you've said above, but it doesn't work. A black command screen appears and disappears, what do I do?
  For me this problem seems to appear when Japanese doesn't work on specific softwares. Apparently the main reason is because ctfmon.exe isn't open when computer starts up or it isn't registered into the system. In order for you to have ctfmon registered, you need to make a reg file.
  [list type=decimal]
• Open Notepad
• Copy and Paste the following into the note
  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
  "ctfmon"="CTFMON.EXE"
• Save it as a .reg file. ie: ctf.reg (Make sure your "Save As Type is set to All Files)
• Close the Notepad file
• Double Click on the .reg file and click yes
• Restart your computer

Hanakago should work by then.

Well Hanakago is working but when I typed something there is a window which says (in Japanese) that MeCab couldn't be found as well as something about dicsettings.txt. What do I do?
Basically, edit dicsettings.txt which is located in the hanakago folder and set it to where you installed MeCab. In this case the text file should be something along the lines of

MeCab=C:\Program Files (x86)\UTAU\plugins\hanakago\MeCab

Is Romaji compatible in hanakago?
To my knowledge, no.[/list]

Okay, so I did the REG file thing, installed mecab as told, changed the path to the right folder and shit, and yet it still won't work!

I click on the plugin with an empty project, there goes a small white window sying something in JP like "plugin start" etc, it closes after not even half a second and... that's it.

Nothing else.

I'm kinda on my nerves. I use Windows 7 and JP locale, UTAU and its plugins (VCV-CV ie) work perfectly, EXCEPT this one.
