NH also flies the 77W with flat beds NRT-FRA daily.

NRT is not yet on flat bed. More towards the mid of the year.
The updates to the A340 fleet can be followed

And actually between the NH and LX new seats I prefer the NH one. LX feels a bit narrower and IFE is far behind NH.
The only one that beats these, IME, is the SQ seat on the A380 and 77W, and IF you could grab one and be willing to take the detour to SIN (and extra miles, I guess, not knowing MP rules).
Not knowing TK details, NH is your safest bet for a flat bed direct Japan-Europe.
