Modifying WordPress theme is straightforward, perhaps more intuitive than MovableType’s theme. Theme’s name is located at the header of style.css.

Export data from MovableType (execute export from Utilities->Import/Export, then save file on server)
Prepare WordPress distribution.
In wp-admin/import-mt.php find
define(‘MTEXPORT’, ”);
and change it to
define(‘MTEXPORT’, ‘import.txt’);
(assuming that the import.txt is under wp-admin)
Access wp-admin/import-mt.php from browser and execute conversion.
In order to convert Japanese entries make sure text encoding is correct. WordPress uses UTF-8 by default, while MovableType uses EUC-JP, so the import.txt must first be converted to UTF-8 before imporing, otherwise text will be garbled.
As far as I know, conversion does not fix reference images, so after the above process check entry one by one and fix references to images (and copy the image files too).
