Have you verified that the characters in position 49-55 are actually
Shift-JIS characters? In my experience problems decoding a source string in
any given character set are because of errors in the source, not errors in
Python.
OTOH, the characters in position 49-55 look like plain old ASCII to me.
Does Shift-JIS have ASCII as a proper subset?
