The Japanese duo will take on Ma Long and Xu Xin on Monday and Hao Shuai and Zhang Jike will play an all-Chinese game against Chen Qi and Wang Hao.
Chinese Guo Yue and Li Xiaoxiao dampened Japanese enthusiasm by beating Ai Fukuhara and Sayaka Hirano in the women's doubles, setting up a semifinal clash against Hong Kong pair Jiang Huajun and Tie Yana.
The other semifinal will be South Korea's Kim Kyung Ah and ParkMi Young against China's Ding Ning and Guo Yan.
"In recent world championships or Olympics, semifinals are always more exciting than finals," said Yao, "because finals are all Chinese affairs."
"I don't like watching Chinese vs. Chinese games either," he added.
