Honestly -- it's great to see Narita so busy again -- I hope they figure out this new QR code system soon.... TBH I don't think that it really saved any time once you arrive -- I mean scanning the QR code at immigration instead of having them look at your form -- maybe 30 seconds? Totally get using the app to pre-verify Passport / COVID documents -- but that can easily be checked by the airline (mine was by UA) and does nothing to speed up the process once you hit immigration...
It is not supposed to speed up immigration, it is supposed to speed up the check of your vaccine certificate and the group you belong to depending on your recent recorded travel history. I guess you are forgetting the show we went through with the doc checks before mysos.
