[Australia] Configuring a Macbook Pro 15" with a Japanese Keyboard

but not on the Australian

I have rang up Apple Australia and they told me it's not possible to change this from a customer end. This seems pretty silly as they are both sourced from the same place.
I was wondering without ordering directly from the American store (as I can get it here much cheaper with a staff discount) how can I go about getting a backlit keyboard with the Japanese katakana above the English lettering. I am not keen to buy some sort of film to place over the keys either.
I really wanted to get the Katakana on the keyboard as it will help me learn Japanese quicker when I can see what I'm doing.
Can anyone suggest alternatives or does anyone have experience with this issue.
warmest regards,
