If JAL is better, is it enough to justify the extra flight time that I will have to incur for the backtracking?
Just in case you're looking at redeeming AA miles for this trip, AA considers TPE, SIN and HKG "Asia Zone 2" while NRT is in "Asia Zone 1" so I don't think you would be allowed to connect between two airports in zone 1 using an airport in zone 2. So if you're using AA miles it would have to be CX (which sounds like it's the way to go anyway).
