Looks like it from what I can tell.
You may want to check the new CDC order went into effect on Jan. 26, which this applies to the U.S. citizens also.
What happens if I don’t take a test and want to travel to the US?
Air passengers traveling to the US are required to present a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery. Airlines must confirm the negative test result or documentation of recovery for all passengers before boarding. If a passenger chooses not to present a test result or documentation of recovery, the airline must deny boarding to the passenger.
If you do not have a negative COVID-19 test results within 72 hrs. of departure from Bangkok and your final destination is the U.S. then the airline may deny you boarding at Bangkok. This is not Japan related so don't want to go off topic on Japan forum, but if you look around other forums on FlyerTalk there are reports of passengers denied boarding. One example at America Airline forum, a passenger had a ticket booked Country A - U.S.A. - Country B, where Country B required negative COVID-19 test results. The passenger was planning to get rapid COVID-19 test during a transit at the U.S. since the passenger was the U.S. citizen or a green card holder. American Airlines at Country A denied this passenger boarding because the destination is Country B but the passenger did not have negative COVID-19 test result which required for an entry to Country B.
