That's not the wrong result, assuming the correct folder name is
ダウンロード. It's just encoded using Java-style \u escapes.
Unfortunately, expanding those is not as simple as do shell script
echo. This will do the trick:
do shell script "echo " & (quoted form of folderName) & " | perl -lne
's/\\\\u(.{4})/chr(hex($1))/ge; print glob($_); '"
