You are aware that this is the japanese version, right? (Just checking
since you appear to be from a non-japanese address). If not, and this is
an OS that does not have japanese charactersets installed, that could
well be the reason.

If it's supposed to be the japanese version, I'll turn you over to
Hiroshi Saito who's done that port :-)
