Story Introduction
This meeting was destined for me.

I came across "her" on a spectacular street seeing Christmas.
A new life started with her, who existed to sing lyrics.
The color of my heart and our relationship changed gradually and steadily.
She made me recall something precious that I'd forgotten.
This must be the miracle that a god gave me.
Our new days starts ――

UTAU

Kasane teto

Teto Kasane

UTAU, or Vocal Synthesizer Tool UTAU formally, is a vocal synthesis software which has only been distributed for the usage on Windows Computers. It is a freeware vocal synthesizer program unlike VOCALOID and VOCALOID2, which are commercially-sold programs along with an accompanying voice bank. It began distribution in March of 2008.

UTAU has its origin in "Jinriki Vocaloid" (人力ボーカロイド, translated as "Manual Vocaloid"). It is a re-edit of existing singing voice, extracting tones as .wav files and reassembling them. For this purpose, a support program was created. In March 2008, "Ameya/Ayame" (飴屋/菖蒲) released a free, advanced support tool as UTAU.

The program has at least 50 different usable audio files, composed of Japanese syllables. It comes with the company's "AquesTalk" pre-loaded, which allows any user to load their own voice data to be programed for usage within UTAU. However, without the explicit permission of the voice donor, it is a violation of copyright laws. Those laws protect the rights of any vocalist who may not wish for their voices to be used within the program, such as celebrities. Any music made through this program can be used in the commercial sector.

The best-known voice bank for UTAU is Teto Kasane. She is recognized as the first UTAUloid, if not Defoko (Uta Utane), the default voicebank in UTAU.

The program can be downloaded here. However, it will not run properly on computers which do not support Japanese text or AppLocale.
