In a joint announcement, Yahoo Japan and Apple have said that Yahoo has replaced a Sony-affiliated music download service with the iTunes platform as the default music store on Yahoo Music Japan.
The partnership is very good news for Apple, due to the fact that Yahoo is Japan's hottest portal site, reaching 84 percent of the country's internet users. Users who visit Yahoo Music Japan will be able to access iTunes through a very prominent one-click access link.
The old download service, Mora, will still be available but it is no longer the default. Users can change their preferences after logging into the service.
