if the path includes any Japanese characters most extractors won't be able to extract it properly. I have used this app from your fanbox subscription and I had to open the zip in WinRAR, press Ctrl+E to set the extraction language to Japanese, then it will extract and the program will work properly

you won't notice this if you have Japanese locale set on your computer, but anyone with English will have this bug

the way you can fix this is to remove all Japanese characters from the file names, or include these instructions somewhere on the page

Thanks for the report, and thanks for the FANBOX subscription! I see, that's what you meant. It is difficult to delete Japanese, so I will quickly describe the procedure you wrote. Thank you!

here is what the CTRL+E menu looks like:

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that, and please stay tuned as we continue to make 48x sprites even better.

I have tried the options that may be relevant when creating a ZIP file. When I changed the locale and extracted the ZIP in my environment, the file name was corrupted in the previous one, but the new one seems to extract correctly. If you have time, please give it a try. If there are no problems, I will adopt this method.

this one seemed to work. it opened up the "Base" of "Template" just fine without me setting Japanese as the extraction language!

Thanks for trying it! "CharaMEL ver.0.6.0 Minimum set not including Japanese.zip" seems to be ok. Did "CharaMEL ver.0.6.0.zip" still need to be set up for Japanese extraction?

that one seems to be fine now too somehow, even though it still has Japanese characters! I compared it to an older one and the older version is still corrupted by default but this new version seems to extract the Japanese without needing to change the extraction language

That's good news! Thank you! I am using 7-zip to create the zip file, and I applied the parameters described in this article.

Thanks to your report I was able to find this method. Thank you so much!!! I will use this method to create ZIP files in Fanbox and other places in the future.
