I recently got Utau, which is a "free" version of Vocaloid. Unfortunately, it is only available in Japanese. My computer cannot understand Japanese codes on programs but can read Japanese on the internet, and I can't read a single code (can't read a lot of Japanese writing unless I know what it is.

Instead, I found out how to type in another language on a computer. biggrin

あひる
This is read as "ahiru," which means "duck." It is also the name of a favorite anime character of mine. It is called "hiragana." (Character writes her name like this.)

サクラ
This is read as "sakura," meaning "cherry blossom." It's a common name in Japan, the namesake being the cherry tree, a beautiful tree upon which pink blossoms bloom each year. Sadly they don't live very long. D: A character in a story I'm writing is named this, her name written in this very form: katakana.

ソニア
"SoNiA"
This is what "Sonia" looks like in katakana.
ソニア　デ　ノッテ
”Sonia de Notte" in katakana.
