It is all moot anyway, as the OP is an AA flyer and NGO is not an option.
JL codeshares with AA as part of the OneWorld Alliance, as such, getting to NGO isn't a problem. Best route is likely AA over the pond and then JL from NRT to NGO.
Since I started flying QF (to/from and in AU) and AA (here in the US), most of my international travel involves codeshares or transfers between OW carriers.
