Fujimi and Aoshima instructions booklets in English?

Hi guys!
I was wandering if it is possible to find instructions booklets for Fujimi's and Aoshima's models in English somewhere? I have lots of Fujimi's and Aoshima kits to build, but they are all in Japanesse. Fujimi are not that bad in general, but there is some kits, like the Diablo, the Gallardo and the Murcielago where there is a lot of writing. And for Aoshima, even the color name are all in Japanesse...

Thanks for your help!

I don't reckon there are any in english. If they are, it's usually in horribly tanslated enrgish...like some fujimi color tables call for "brack"...true story. I've never worried about all the writing. I must've missed the "Oh noooesss!! Don't grue the spling therre!!" Kinda like Lownslow's avatar. You'll see.

Murcielago instructions are bilingual, and there isn't any writing that need to be understood in order to complete the model. The only exception s that I can think of are the numbers in white boxes are GSI Creos aqueous hobby colors, while the numbers in black boxes are GSI Creos Mr. Colors.
Aoshima kit instructions are pretty much the same (about the colors)

Newer Aoshima instructions should also have english instructions included. I'm looking at the D1 ER34 Blitz Skyline instructions, and they have english translations for almost everything, colors, part descriptions, and tips on assembling. The only thing that is in Japanese only is the parts replacement page and the one next to it (looks like a survey or comment form). That's the newest kit I have, so I'm assuming anything newer than this should also apply.

It's simply because the letter "l" doesn't exist in Japanese. It's commonly known as Engrish.
