Could you attach one of the shift-JIS files that you received (step 1), and
the same text as you send it out (step 3).

Are you sure that it really works fine?

Notice that random sequences of bytes (over 0x7F) often *look* like genuine
Asian text to someone who cannot read it. Can you (or someone else in your
team) read Chinese/Japanese to see that the text actually makes sense? If
not, you may wish to also send some sample of these.
