Only that they are used for different things, hiragana is used for simple Japanese, while katakana is used to simplify English words. Hiragana and katakana symbols have the exact same meaning. The left is Hiragana, and the middle is Katakana, the right side shows what means what. If you are a beginner in Japanese, first of all you need to set up a Japanese keyboard, look on Microsoft or Apple sites on how to do that. There has been a request on how I convert Utauloid and VOCALOID files so I thought to write a tutorial for you all.įirst of all you need to learn Japanese, hiragana and katakana at least, that is the hardest part but it's the best way to learn it because you are naturally forced to learn because otherwise we wouldn't have a converted file.
