IAH-Japan-SIN-IAH award advice

I'm beginning to plan my next trip and I would appreciate advice to get nudged in the right direction.
As my title says, I'm hoping for IAH-Japan-SIN-IAH for 2 people anytime next year flying coach using a smattering of miles.
My miles situation is as follows:
AMEX MR: 100k
UA: 50k, potentially 100k if required
SW: 50k (not particularly useful here)

From what I've read, IAH-Japan-IAH could be done using 100k MR (for 2). I can't figure out how to include SIN and return from there.

You almost have enough to do it on ANA with your MR points.

ANA wants 55K - 70K per person RT in Y.

BTW, I really like ANA.

It would seem wasteful to use 2 airlines' miles to do 2 awards each.

I hope you realize that doing that trip in Y is torture....

Thanks for your response.
I saw that ANA needs 50-55k for North American to Japan. How do I get to check miles required for my itinerary which includes SIN (Asia Zone 3)? For instance, how did you say I need 55-70k? Thanks.
