Buyers' remorse.

Well, if the trip you're trying to plan is Japan Do! 5 in Tokyo, you have only a limited span of dates which will get you to Tokyo in time for the Do! events there.
You do not have to go to the Korea Do! thereafter, but if you did, that would also restrict the dates | flights you could accept.
I used to go by the recommendation

that international travel should be booked 32-45 days out, but in the 21st Century, I believe this is no longer a valid benchmark. The el cheapo, super discount airfare could turn up at any time before the date of the first flight on your itinerary.
Determine what is the date by which you will no longer look for a flight pair. If an acceptable cheap flight occurs before then, book it and cease worrying about it.

You'll have fun.
Ultimately, that is what matters.
