That's a cellphone barcode. It can be scanned by a Japanese cellphone and it will take you directly to the download site.

No no, not at all! The cellphone uses the camera feature to scan the barcode. The camera, when in reader mode, acts as a scanner and looks for one of those square barcodes. When the camera finds one, it makes a beeping noise and reads the information, usually bringing up an internet link. When I click on that link I get taken to the website encoded into the barcode!
