Essentially it would be switching the outbound and return flight directions. Otherwise I don't know how I can book the JFK to TYO on the same day it is released. Hope this makes sense

IMHO, You can't do that.
JFK-TYO-JFK to TYO-JFK-TYO is a routing change. Therefore such change isn't permitted.
Because of the international date line (and schedule), you can't book same day return JFK-TYO-JFK.
