The XML header shows:
<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
 xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
 xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
 xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"

AnyMemo does not support excel XML format. The only XML format supported are 
SuperMemo 2008 and SuperMemo 2004 PPC. 

If you want to export from excel, please use CSV format.

Here are some hints about the format:

Windows default save as win1252/ ASCII encoding, that is not supported in 
Android.
You can use Notepad to open your .csv file and "Save as". Choose the encoding 
as "UTF-8" and then the Japanese should be displayed correctly.
