I can't profess to know exactly what is going on. Are you sure you bought them while signed onto a non-Japan Store?

One possibility is the distributor has pulled the items from the US (or wherever you are) store. This can happen and is one reason why it is critical you maintain your own backup of all things you have purchased, even if it does seem so easy now to be lazy and assume they will be available in the Cloud. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

You won't be able to hop onto the Japan store and re-download them from there, or even buy them from there.
