You don't want to be using shift-jis much in a Unix environment.
It does not work well.  You should be able to automate the process
of conversion/reconversion.  Alternatively, I'm sure that Emacs
or XEmacs can be configured to convey one encoding to disk, and
another to processes and the screen.  As a start.  I'm sure that
you will receive lots of suggestions on this.
