Of course, this would have to take into account being on time vs late vs early arriving in NRT. FWIW, this is a Monday in January, 4:50-5:50 pm.

I would be fine for 60 minutes international to international. On one ticket that is.

The comparison to international to domestic is fairly irrelevant, as that requires immigration, bag retrieval, customs, and recheck. International to international only requires a security check.
