Just as promised Microsoft Japan finally released it’s otaku theme packs for Windows on its Bing Campaign Site. The five mascots come in two flavors each, one normal and the other special, which can be downloaded here and here respectively. They come in .themepack files for Windows 7 and .zip containing the same images and audio for manual installation in previous versions of Windows. For the person who wants all ten of them like me it takes up a lite 36.7MB. As of writing this it seems that Microsoft is still fixing up the download pages but hopefully everyone will be able to get them soon like I did.
Currently I’m using the special version of Nanae since she sounds like a clumsy Amami Haruka (iDOLM@STER). I love you Microsoft JP.

It says it can’t open the themepack (windows 7) does that mean I have to change locales in order to install them ? (can’t do that atm).

I tried installing the files on my other computer in US locale and it worked just fine so locale shouldn’t matter. I’d suggest just re-downloading the files and try installing them again. Other than that I don’t know what else to suggest.
Nice! Works like a charm, thanks for the heads up!
I downloaded them… I don’t plan on using them, but I downloaded them anyway. I guess if the downloads ever disappear I could mirror them.

I’ll probably mirror them at some point too.
Please do.
And also readme instructions on use, too.
