The new school year starts these days in Japan, which just has released the mask rules: pupils are free to not wear masks.

The pupils think this:
- only 5% plan to not wear a mask, 68% will wear mask, the rest decide depending on the others
- Reason for continuing to wear mask: 35% with "just don't want to show my plain face", 20% because of Corona, 18% because it helps with hay fever
