Saito San,

It looks like in Yahoo they put a lot of directories above you. I did a search for トランポリン・アクロ and you are number one in Google and number 13 in Yahoo.

Most of the site above you are direcotires in Yahoo have a lot more incoming links. You have 158 incoming links while the www.scooterdepot.us site has 3800 incoming links. Yahoo must think this is more "relevant" now.

I also think it is easier to rank for Google than Yahoo in Japan unless I pay Yahoo Japan 50,000 yen to be in the direcory.

Sorry I do not have better answer.

One thing I noticed about your site is that you have a lot of javascript in your code. You should move that to an external file, then "include" that external file. The search engines do not a huge block of java script when they come to a site plus you pages will open a little faster.

Gambatte!
