Assuming that window seats are available on both side of the plan, on which side will be the sun during the flight from Tokyo to SFO? I this it is obvious that during the flight from SIN to TYO sun will shine on right side.
Doesn't matter what time of day, in the northern hemisphere the sun is always on the south (except in the tropics). So the sun will be on the right side of the plane.

Unless, of course, some "I don't care about you" DB decides he has to have the shade on his window open so he can look at the clouds. Then you'll get the sun everywhere in the cabin.
