UTAU can't read Japanese even though my locale is set to it

[blackicek1lls]

The JP voicebanks look like this and USTs with Japanese in them are replaced with black diamonds with question marks. Maybe its the Windows update I installed or something else but I need some help to figure this out.

Have you uninstalled, redownloaded, and reinstalled UTAU since changing your locale? It needs to be downloaded and installed after changing your locale or it will remain corrupted.

Also, be sure it was your locale (language for non-unicode programs) that you changed, and not something like your system language, region, input language, or time and date settings. People often mistake one of these other settings for their locale. Also make sure you've restarted your computer since changing the locale, in case you haven't.

My locale has since not changed from Japanese when I updated my computer. I changed it to Japanese before I installed UTAU and that was well before this issue happened.

Utau is a non-unicode application, and the locsle is set for unicode programs
Try this

• 
  Click Start then Control Panel
• Click Clock, Language and Region
• Windows 10, Windows 8: Click Region
  Windows 7: Click Region and Language
  Windows XP: Click Regional and Language Options
  The Region and Language options dialog appears.
• Click the Administrative tab
  On Windows XP, click the Advanced tab
  If there is no Advanced tab, then you are not logged in with administrative privileges.
• Under the Language for non-Unicode programs section, click Change system locale and select the desired language.
• Click OK
• Restart the computer to apply the change
