Per oneworld policy, it will only grant access if your same day connecting flights are between long haul and short haul ones. Both LHR-HND and HND-HNL are considered long-haul. JAL policy is more generous but it only applies to JL Group flights, which again doesn't apply to your case.

Connecting between oneworld marketed and operated flights: First and Business Class customers connecting on the same day of travel, or before 06:00am the following day, can access the lounge when travelling between an international long haul (a oneworld international long haul flight is defined as an international flight marketed and operated by any oneworld carrier with a scheduled flight time longer than 5 hours) and an international short haul or domestic flight (and vice-versa)
