For advance purchase via the ANA website your ticket needs to be purchased directly from ANA. For day if departure purchases at the airport, there is no restriction on the channel of purchase of the ticket.

Thank you. The UA miles (redeemed) award ticket makes it an 016 issued ticket. By the way it is a separate ticket (not linked with the United leg as I am flying non-rev on United). I will still ask (All Nippon) when I land at Haneda if I can just pay an entry fee to use their lounge. Sometimes the "I'm so dumb" routine works.
CORRECTION -- Just googled ANA lounge, entry fees and you are right on all details. Annoying though as you would think they would welcome the fee people are willing to pay. Do you know if there is any other "non-generic" lounge one could get into at Haneda ?
