How to extract folders with Japanese Encoding

Make sure you have your system locale set to Japanese first.

Inside some of these compressed folders, there are files written in Japanese. If you extract the folder without Japanese encoding, the files will not be appropriately named.

The reason why this is a problem is that the game will not be able to locate the game files, causing an error message to pop up (usually as soon as you start the game).
