Hi,
Do you think people in Japan are happier than in other countries, or less happy? 
There was a report released this year (2019) that says Finland the number one happiest country in the world. Japan did not reach the top ten, but Australia did. It must be the sunshine and beaches:-)
 
When talking about comparing things, you can use Comparative forms
These forms will help you to compare two things.

For example 

Category                                                 Example                   Comparative
One-syllable adjectives                             cheap                       cheaper

Two-syllable or more ending in "y"             happy                       happier 

Two or more syllables                                expensive                 more/less expensive

Irregular adjectives                                   good                        better
                                                               bad                          worse

When we want to talk about comparing things that are the same,
we use "as ____ as_____".
For example "Japanese people are as happy as Australians."

Do you agree?

Let me know what you think! Hope to speak to you soon,
Zia
