From now on, Japanese consumers visiting the music section of Yahoo! website will be redirected to iTunes Store if they want to purchase some tracks or album.
If this is a success for Apple, it a serious drawback for SONY, as the Japanese company was the Yahoo!'s default partner for online digital music store in Japan.
For sure Yahoo! will generate some revenue from this partnership, and in this case, one should be associated with the largest online music store, in other words, Apple iTunes Store.
