http://browsehappy.com/?locale=en, for those who don't speak 日本語. Interesting to see a Japanese site like this, considering that the Japanese aren't very enthusiastic about using alternate browsers.
I get it in my native language, Swedish, which means that they are doing some kind of detection based on the requests your browser is sending, or based on your IP.
If you don't live anywhere near Japan, nor have configured your OS/Browser for this language, I would guess their system for detecting certain region-specific IP's is outdated or broken.
Your best bet might just be to install a different browser and see if they notice.
There is probably an opportunity here to create a firefox or chrome extension that makes the basic UI Mimic Internet Explorer exactly so people don't notice.

Do you have a link to the patch? The latest I know of is the security advisory saying they're looking into it and a workaround that's not really a patch.
That's the workaround that's not really a patch that I was talking about. EMET is a very cumbersome system to work with in my experience, and not something a consumer would put up with.

Or easier yet, just install Chrome Frame.
