Am I correct in thinking this breaches the MCT? I don't seem to be able to find this combination of flights for sale on JAL.com now.
looks like you are well short of the MCT.
please research on alternative flights or call JAL to ask for help with short connection at Narita (someone will have your name in a card at the arrival gate, and escort you through transit security and all the way to the departure gate.
see this post for MCT
