Perhaps there is an external utility you could use to convert the euc-jp document into a different encoding which Vim can understand, like cp932 or utf-8.

If iconv is installed, euc-jp and cp932 ought to be both available on
any platform.

By doing
iconv -l |less
on this Linux system, I see the following "possibly relevant" charsets
(I didn't try to open your file):

cp932
euc-jp
euc-jp-ms
eucjp-ms
eucjp-open
eucjp-win


Best regards,
Tony.
