Comment(by rekkanoryo):

 Yahoo Japan did make a change that breaks Pidgin's ability to connect, but
 it's only a minor issue that I intend to fix for the next release.  The
 work around is to change the Pager server from the default to an IP
 address.  Currently I'm using 124.83.217.169, but there are a number of
 others that work.

 The gritty details:  cs.msg.yahoo.co.jp no longer accepts YMSG
 connections.  Current official Yahoo Japan Messenger queries
 http://cs1.msg.vip.ogk.yahoo.co.jp/capacity and uses the server address
 provided in the `CS_IP_ADDRESS` key/value pair returned from the HTTP
 request.  Once that address is obtained, everything works the same as
 Pidgin has expected since version 2.6.0.
