gmail access

Hello, today I received an email that say my google account was accessed by a non usual computer, in fact the ip is from another country and happened tonight... I read that lot of google users received the email and was a problem with plaxo, can I be secure? This happened to you too?

Code:
Someone recently tried to sign in to your Google Account, myaccount@gmail.com. We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt:

May 9, 2012 2:59am GMT 
IP Address: 
Location: Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan 
If you do not recognize this sign-in attempt, someone else might be trying to access your account. You should sign in to your account and reset your password immediately. Find out how at http://support.google.com/accounts?p=reset_pw

Sincerely,
The Google Accounts Team

Well, I wouldn't click on any links in that particular e-mail, but I would probably go to gmail.com and change my password. E-mails like that could be phishing attempts, too, so be wary.
