Age by year instead of by decade?

Thank you for making this data available!

Do you have access to cases or deaths by age in years? I know that demography.csv has a breakdown by age decade, but it would be very important to look at each age year.

Background: According to this paper, Japan started the BCG vaccine in 1947. A very clear way to test the BCG hypothesis is to look for a sharp drop in cases or deaths starting in 1947.

Do you have access to cases or deaths by age in years?
No, MHLW does not publish cases (or any data) by age in years.
