I suspect because you're trying to book a one-way fare.
Doing a dummy booking, it's certainly showing LHR-HND-NRT-MEL out on 14/5***, returning on 28/5 MEL-NRT-LHR (NRT-LHR on a BA codeshare though to avoid a 13 hour layover for JL metal).
(***with a quicker LHR-HEL-NRT-MEL routing also available which has the advantage of not requiring airport changes; the MEL-NRT-HEL and HEL-NRT-MEL connections are pretty much perfect with layovers in NRT just over an hour in both directions)
