F class of ANA is excellent ! (from London or FRA)

SAS: GLA-CPH-NRT (SK new business class)
Or as mentioned buy a cheap flight to CPH to start from zone 2 (which I think is worthwhile if you can get a return for under £100):
SAS Nonstop CPH-NRT
Lufthansa CPH-FRA-NRT
Austrian CHP-VIE-NRT
Swiss CPH-ZRH-NRT (probably the best option especially if you can go 1st class).
Yes I am bored

Good luck with your PhD by the way - I've got my viva next month
