There is most likely a good reason for the game not being able to install on non-Japanese Windows (like e.g. Japanese character set problems, leading to it crashing and burning even if you manage to get it installed and then run it).
But well, you never now.
Tip: Look in MSDN for language and localization related API:s, then hook them...

that's a nice hacker's solution...
I would anyway try before to add East Asian Languages support to your Windoze... Have a look for example at http://www.ficorp.com/intl_xp.html
Maybe it will not work, but who knows...

Just remember that Ginger Rogers could do
everything that Fred Astaire could do,
and she did it backwards and in highheels.
And evlncrn8, you
promised you wouldn't tell if I borrowed your dress and handbag!!! Thank God I had my own shoes.

Too bad the original poster didn't have enough brains to even tell which Windows he is running. He was probably already wetting himself in anticipation of some eerie hentai flash game

Up to now I got basically all japanese apps to run (hell no, I am not talking about pr0n games, we have international business contacts in japan and have to evaluate software from time to time), just install language support for japanese and set the default language for unaware apps to japanese. That's it - some apps however still fail to display all of their text properly because a japanese system displays japanese fonts in a different size than non-japanese systems do.
That's why we have a completely japanese comp here as well, in addition to "common" Windows machines which just run with japanese language support configured. The differences are quite impressive I have to admit.
