Help on finding a rare Japanese Windows 2000 version

[mk360]

A year ago in Twitter I remember finding a rare version of Windows 2000 which had a black box and a black CD, which was from Japan, and I tried finding it again but I had no luck. I think it was https://twitter.com/chapman who owned the rare copy and he found it on eBay or some Japanese auctioneering site. It also had a special theme in it with the cherry blossom background and a cherry blossom pink start menu and window.

I'm in Japan. I have an idea about the black Windows 2000 package.
It is a retail package that was preferentially sold to Windows 9x users in Japan. You can find that box by searching for "Windows 2000 特別パッケージ" (Windows 2000 Special Package). However, its contents are regular Windows 2000 Professional.

I have never seen or heard of Windows 2000 specially bundled with such a color theme in Japan.
The Sakura wallpaper may be the "花見.bmp" (hanami.bmp) that was bundled with all Windows 9x Japanese versions.

Thus, the screenshot could simply be a customized Windows 2000 and the black disk could be due to a hologram.

Yes, it was exactly this box. Thank you, my memory is blurry about the theme though, so that helped on the confusion.
