I already have autocvvc 2.0 and changed my region and timezone to japan is there anything else i should do?

You do not need to change your region or timezone. You need to change the locale, or "Language for non unicode programs". Review the instructions here: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/locale.html
Make sure that the beta option for UTF-8 is not checked.

Once you've successfully changed locale, you need to delete UTAU and all related files, redownload the installer from the website again, and reinstall.

Ensure that the format of the lyrics matches the voicebank that you're using. Assuming that you're using a Japanese voicebank:
CV romaji: [ka][e][ru][no][ u][ta][ga]
CV hiragana: [か][え][る][の][う][た][が]
VCV: [- か][a え][e る][u の][o う][u た][a が] (Each note "borrows" the vowel from the previous note.)
CVVC: [か][a え][e r][る][u n][の][o う][u t][た][a g][が] (Each note has a small note at the end to connect from the vowel to the next consonant)

You can also use a CVVC bank as a CV bank.
