I plotted a similar figure in the second chart You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., but I did not examine the contents of the file then.
It seems that the vast majority of the repetitions are mono-syllabic e.g. "to to" "i i" "ke ke". I would be curious to know if the repetitions are an effect of the conversion to the Latin alphabet.

Yes, you did, I missed that. Thank you.
According to the description file, this Japanese text has "Limited set of phonemes. Extremely shallow orthographic depth. Strong CVC structure. Originally logographic and syllabic script." and is "Romanised with the Hepburn system, without capitalisation."
Whatever this all means (it doesn't make much sense to me at this point), maybe it could hint towards a conversion effect.
