I've done Y to Europe & it's no big deal, but never to Asia. I'm always the guy that has the luck of having to go to the bathroom about 14 minutes after the person in the aisle & middle seat fall into a deep slumber - so the aisle's probably better for that, but I love putting my head up against the window & passing out...decisions, decisions, decisions...
I fly SFO-NRT, SEA-NRT and ORD-NRT frequently. Whenever I'm stuck in coach, I always want and aisle. The reason is that I want to be able to get up and walk around and I feel bad if I have to wake up the person sleeping in the aisle seat. ORD-NRT at 13 hours is HE** if you can't get up and walk a lot!
BTW, keep checking back for seats to open up. Frequently my favorite seats on the 777 (17b/c g/h) are taken when I make my reservation, but they magically open up by flight time!!
