I overall agree with your takes on individual freedom, but the situation in Japan isn't all sunshine and roses like you make it seem.
> Japan never had lockdown and is doing fine without it
Japan does have an emergency lockdown, it's just that it's not legally enforceable. However, people who have disregarded the lockdown have and will be subject to intense public shaming and bashing.
Additionally, the Covid situation in Japan is far from being okay. The government and IOC's insistence on proceeding with the Olympics despite the slow vaccine rollouts have resulted in a surge of new cases and is continuing to put strain on the health care system [1]. The situation is so bad that the current prime minister is quitting over this.
