Do you have a longer layover at NRT or HND to protect the connection? The OC's problem was due to a 2 hour delay departing from ORD, not a problem at HNL.
Personally, I try to allow at least 2 hours, preferably 3 or 4, between flights when trying to make a connection to an international flight or ensure there are options at the connecting airport(s) to get me where I intended.
