All your pension and other income will be added together and taxed under the Aggregate Taxation System, unless you have specific income that can be taxed under the Separate Tax method, and you choose to do so if optional.
After adding all the Aggregate Taxation System income, you will apply all of your Allowances, Deductions, and if you receive qualified Public Pensions (Japan National Pension, UK National Pension, US Social Security, etc.) you will also claim the Public Pension Allowance, leaving the Total Taxable Income, and you will then apply the Marginal Tax Rates to the income bands.

Aware of that. The discussion is about if annuities from UK government backed private pensions such as SIPP and workplace pension are pension income (so therefore qualify for the pension income deduction) or if they are not pension income.
Any annuity you get from your iDeCo is pension income. So I think SIPP and workplace pension annuities from UK also get to be pension income in Japan too
