Looking forward to the rest, especially to your pictures of the cherry blossoms.

Wonderful TR SFO777, I am looking forward to the rest.
I am surprised SQ uses those small blue amenity kits for R class!
I got one in F on a 77W two years ago - did keep it and all of the zippers are broken. My UA BF kit has lasted longer as storage for my odd plugs and USB cables.
SQ needs to step up the amenity kits to the level of everything else they offer.
Have a great trip.

I was wondering when I would see the next TR from you SFO777! Thank you for sharing. Those SQ Suites look absolutely sensational. Interesting to compare them to EK's...

Agreed! Another great report in the making.
However, SFO777, your Thanksgiving report on the Maldives has proven rather costly to me. Inspired, I'll be heading there in 48 days! Jumping on CX for the way home, though.

Thanks as always for a spectacular TR thus far - enjoy the cherry blossom festival, great time to be in Japan (not that there is really ever a bad time!)

SFO777, you are the rock star of the Trip Report forum! This trip is certainly off to a spectacular start with those Singapore Suites. Their ambience and space is - to me at least - unmatched, even by the likes of Emirates and Etihad. And the meal service - come hungry! Here's hoping the rest of your travels are every bit as wonderful as the beginning. I can practically smell those cherry blossoms now...

Ahhh, I totally forgot to get the bear on my SQ Suites flight! 
You had a better crew than I did (or maybe because mine was 12/12 and not 5/12).
Curious, did you book one ticket as LAX-NRT and the other as LAX-NRT-SIN and drop the NRT-SIN? Or 2 savers? Or 1 saver + 1 standard?

You can sometimes find 1 saver LAX-NRT and another saver LAX-SIN (which stops in NRT).
Before discounts, LAX-NRT saver is 87,500 and standard is 170,000. LAX-SIN saver is 107,500 (and stops in NRT). Then when you get off the plane ... let 'em know you're not coming back and go through immigration.

The Peninsula Tokyo
Tokyo
Typically beautiful Peninsula property with an outstanding location across from the Imperial Palace grounds. Couple of pics from the Peninsula website...
Main lobby which strangely doubles as a restaurant thru which you have to walk to get to the front desk.
Our Premium Grand Deluxe Room overlooking the Imperial Palace grounds.
Sorry about the messy bed.
And our spectacular view...
Huge closet/dressing room that doubled as my early morning office.
Breakfast the next morning before heading out for our 10AM tour.
