Narita Express No. 44
Airport Terminal 2: 6:19 p.m.
Shinagawa: 7:28 p.m.

Nozomi No. 87
Shinagawa: 7:46 p.m.
Kyoto: 9:51 p.m.
I will give it a 50:50 chance. It all depends on:

1. If your flight arrives on time or not.
2. How busy arrival formality is at the time of your arrival? If arrival formality is not busy then good chance you will make this train. If the arrival formality is busy, then not good.
3. How busy is the train station to buy tickets? Often ticket counters to buy tickets from an in-person ticket agent can have a long line, visitors need in-person assistance. If you can manage to buy a ticket from the ticket machine, then you can avoid those lines.
