Anyone knows How much Yankees makes from selling broadcast right to Japanese media (because of Matsui)?

I'm not sure on this, but I think there is a Japanese media group that has a contract directly with MLB for broadcasting, rather than with any individual teams. They do tend to show teams with Japanese players more, so maybe it's a publicity issue rather than a broadcasting rights issue.

Just over 1 billion. I think it was in Forbes.
