 Nah. "file"'s encoding detection is rather rudimentary. If it sees a mix
 of ASCII and 8-bit characters, and it isn't UTF-8, it concludes that it's
 ISO-8859.

 Based upon this I'd say that it's EUC-JP; a Japanese locale on Unix is
 likely to use either UTF-8 or EUC-JP, and file can detect UTF-8. If you
 want a more accurate test, try iconv which each encoding in turn and see
 which one works, or load the file in Firefox and see which encoding it
 selects.
