Sure, let's go by deaths then, if we don't like the testing numbers. Numbers are closer there, ~1000 deaths, that's only worse than half of states. Looks like Kentucky is the biggest state that is doing better than Japan, at about 4.5 million people. Even if we're not super happy with directly comparing a single metric, the overall point across several metrics, that this is different by nearly two orders of magnitude, holds up pretty well.
