The email actually does not go from Ireland to Japan. The email which you send goes to your email server, which then takes care of sending it to the email server of the recipient.
So, if both of you are using yahoo mail, it wouldn't take more than a few seconds. but if both of you are using a different mail servers, for example like a university mail server, then it might take a lot of time depending on the policy of your mail server. some mail servers deliver mails every few minutes instead of as and when they receive it.

It doesn't go from japan to Ireland. it goes to your server then he or she picks it up.

I agree with Lloyd with one little thing to add.
If your on NTL there's a chance you might never get it.
