Are my extracurriculars good for super competitive colleges?

They seem solid. One listed said you raised 7K for an activity ( was that you alone or the entire group?) Alone great, as part of a group you would need to cite your role. I think most of your activities are school based, there are a few Boys State which are state wide ( that’s better). If you get into Boys state/MIT programs that is impressive. These are typical strong ECS for a strong student not outstanding. Tough to tell on the Japanese awards are they local ( school based, regional?)
Really strong Ecs are state based, national based or even world level. To be a competitive applicant to a super competitive school you really need to have at least a strong state based award ( even that really isn’t going to cut it). I would polish off the Japanese aspect of your ECs and try to position some awards in that category in a state/national level.
