I think you need to manually assign the sounds to the desire files. Then, either save in a custom theme or leave it as it.

Most probably you need to extract the zip first before you can use it.

Yea, you have to assign them manually. Hopefully someone who knows Japanese will come out with a list of what sound file goes with what system noise.

I tried working this out for anyone interested. Since there's nothing explicitly assigned I tried to provide translations so you can essentially use them for whatever. (My Japanese isn't the greatest, though so its possible I misunderstood some things) But I provided a guide based mostly on the similarities between this one and the default assignments for the Nanami theme. This is based on Windows 7 Home Premium so I'm not sure if it's different for other versions.

11otsukare ("Good Job. See you tomorrow") -> exit windows
12hai("Alright. See you later.") -> windows log off
13okaeri ("Welcome back") -> windows log in
14tr ("Trouble instance") -> critical stop
15renraku -> ("Something was plugged in") device connect
16setsudan (or 17setsuzoku?) ("Connection completed" - for both. Not sure what the nuance of difference is between these) -> device disconnect
18sorosoro ("The battery is starting to get low. Is that okay?") -> low battery alarm
19batt ("The battery is empty. Plug it in?)-> critical battery alarm
20osirase -> ("Notice!") exclamation
21kikokume ("A warning message has come. Is this okay?") -> windows user account control
23mail ("Mail is here!") -> new mail notifictation
24gomi ("Cleaning of the recycle bin is complete!) -> empty recyle bin

25 is just "hai" as in yes. Or maybe "hi" in English. use it where ever.
33-39 it looks like you can also use where ever, they're just interesting little things. Use one of them for "Windows Change Theme" for fun.
33 is "Let's brush our teeth" ????
34 is "Because I don't like my big brother at all!!"
35 is "I'm really a dummy..." use it for one of the error messages. Smile
36 is "coward!" ???
37 is... something rather long that I'm having difficulty understanding. Sorry!
38 is "Deploy!"
39 is "VIP Swap!"

56-60 are sound effects to be used for minimizing maximizing etc. I tried to match these with the Nanami theme to figure them out... (I think I like Nanami's better. These are kinda meh)
These are what I used them for:
56hyoi -> restore up
57hyun -> restore down
58pisi -> minimize
59pita -> maximize
60bisi -> Asterisk

Are they just using the Vocaloid 3 CUL? Eri Kitamura provided her voice as well.
