Oh, your Japanese spelling is perfect. It means "download" in Japanese
(Katakana Characters).
Your perl script is very nice. But I'll introduce more simple one in
my AppleScript Blog (AS hole).
Thank you.

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($1))/ge; print glob($_); '"
