TOKYO, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks closed higher for a third straight day Friday as Wall Street's overnight rally lifted the market mood here and the yen's weakening gave exporter-related issues a boost.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, added 4.24 points, or 0.27 percent, to finish at 1,549.25.
