There are no humans here.
This is where UTAU live. UTAU is a type of speech synthesis software that allows for the free creation of voicebanks. Due to that freedom, voicebanks known as "inanimate voicebanks"—which have no human "voice provider"—came to be created. Those inanimate voicebanks live here. Since UTAU are mostly machines, they generally lack gender, though some identify as having one while others do not. The city is located a bit far from human settlements; you have to travel quite a way to meet a human. There are only seven voicebanks living here. Because of this, the place has the atmosphere of a "hideaway." You live in this city. Which means, of course, that you are also an inanimate voicebank!
