Why do you need to change the locale to Japanese to play Japanese games?
character encoding

They aren't unicode applications.
Tama-nee sure got fat!
Because, for some inexplicable reason, there are still countries that don't use the superior latin alphabet.

you call that a game?
Pajeet-tier programming

It's a way to keep the dirty piggu gaijin away from their waifus.

Shift-JIS. It's the same reason the \ shows up as a ¥ in pathnames.

Give me a sauce of this "game".

Usually you only need to change it for the install. After that you can change it back to normal and the game runs fine.
Probably because Japanese devs are still using ancient Windows 98 code in their frameworks. Since they make their games for Windows, it "just werks". They'll switch over to Unicode compatible code if they see enough money in releasing their games outside of Japan.
As a side note, Japanese used LZH compression for years instead of ZIP compression like everyone else. It was pervasive enough for Microsoft to make a shell extension for LZH just like the ZIP shell extension.
I haven't been able to get applocale working ever since I upgraded to Windows 10.
Didn't bother looking for a solution because I figured my time would be best spent not jacking off to degenerate jappo porn.

AppLocale stopped being supported with Vista. Now you have to manually change your locale to get the same effect, but I think that's only really available on the Professional and Ultimate versions of Win10.

Search for "/hgg/" on either /h/ or /vg/, they might know.

It's when those games don't support Unicode.
