How can foreign investors with residency in Japan but vaccine passports from EU return?

I have residency in Japan but my vaccine passport is from the EU. How can I reenter Japan? I've heard Japan is issuing its own vaccine passports from July 26. Would I need a new Japanese vaccine passport?

    There has so far been no information officially disclosed by the Government of Japan about relaxation of entry for EU vaccine passport holders. Currently, everyone from the EU needs a PCR negative certificate before boarding as well as COVID test again at the airport of entry and a 14-day isolation period, and so on. A Japanese vaccine passport will be issued late July; there is no information about whether or not one can skip any quarantine for both, re-entry of foreigners and Japanese nationals returning to their home country.
