Not a utopia, but a pretty good place to live, most of the biggest issues are workplace related, long hours being the worst of it.

Singapore isn't a utopia either, it has a few very serious issues once look into the country more.

Not even close but it has a lot of QoL things that put it above other countries. However there are factors that put it below other countries as well. As things are now though I would prefer to live there than in the US.

People commit suicide in Japan out of shame not because they are depressed at how dystopic their country is.

There is a term called "Karoushi". It literally means "Overworked to Death".

In a society where corporate slaves were pressured and shamed to death. Doesn't sound like an utopia to me.
