To answer this one, anyone with a *valid resident status re-entering Japan from dependents, students, workers to permanent residents (excluding temporary visitors) can use the re-entry lanes.
*(re-entry permit holders for trips over 1 year or deemed re-entry for trips out of Japan lasting 1 year or less)
From my experience immigration is pretty efficent at NRT in processing times.
