The ANA NRT-MNL flight felt like it was at least half UA connections if not more; of course this is only anecdotal and one flight.
I took that flight 3 or 4 times and, yeah, seemed to have a fair number of UA-connecting pax. Always a bit tough to tell for sure, but with the mini-hub in NRT they were going to various US spots.

Assume that's dead with most flights to HND, unless NRT moves flights there too.
