There's a Turkish/Asiana connecting combo on June 14th to ICN. I'm assuming you were hoping for an all Asiana or Eva Air option, or ANA in the case of Tokyo, but I think the main issue here is Brussels, since those airlines don't fly to that airport (well, ANA does, but finding availability in business class far in advance is almost more difficult than finding availability in first).
I'd recommend taking a look at flightsconnections and try moving your departure to a neighbouring airport, like Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, Paris etc. (The Taipei - Paris connection was one I had booked in Eva Air business class, but was forced to cancel due to the virus... a very long direct flight that would certainly have been worth it )

After a cancellation of NH224 I'm now on the waitinglist for NH204 in O.
Didn't think that was possible, but I don't think NH will bring the 77W back to FRA anytime soon.
No clue whether it was A3 or NH who took care of that (I guess the latter).
Also said I'd be fine with NH212 out of LHR which still has First on sale (the ex-FRA flights are zero'd out in F).
Let's see how this develops as, still plenty of time till January.

From the winter schedule, FRA/HND is NH204 daily + NH224 3 times a week = 10 flights a week.
On the flight schedule, web says still B777, however, it will be changed to B787-9 for both flights soon because of increasing number of flights, ANA says.
November is already changed.

After about a week they heard back from revenue management and told me the same thing (as you confirmed now as well).
No surprises there.
They ended up putting us on hte waiting list for NH212 out of LHR and within a day the seats were made available and I called Aegean to issue the tickets.
I'm still trying to get Aegean to add FRA-LHR to the flights (plenty of I availability on those), but let's see.
At least we now have F seats of the flight out of London so all good

I checked the coming days and indeed, the flight FRA-MEX which has F cabin doesn't seem available.
Something weird shows up though, F availability FRA-MUC-MEX, which doesn't seem correct as I can't book F seats on the MUC-MEX flights. Seems like a bug to me.

Usually you only see LH F a few days in advance.

I saw this too, after a quick search for awards on that route after 747's post, but refrained from mentioning it. Known bug and if you click on the down arrow in the summary at the right of the website, you'll see that it indicates booking class I for both legs (which is also the only way you'd get the "normal" miles price, since a mixed cabin results in added award miles as per the award chart) and so by booking that I which shows up as First, you'd simply spend the additional miles for nothing and you'd probably have to go through customer service...
Ever since I first came across this bug with TAP (I've since had this error with various other airlines as well from time to time), I always check out the booking class which is displayed in that short summary on the right side. That's the only piece of information to go by when on the awards page.

Don't know if they'd do the same in case of a downgrade though.

I also see they don't sell FRA-HND in F untill end of the calendar, so I'd rather move to LHR asap, but pretty risky to waitlist just to lose exFRA seat.

Did they open one seat in O for you? I don't see a single seat on LHR-HND-LAX route. There's 77W scheduled from February, not sure if it'll stay like this.

It took them quite a while but NH was really nice and helpful.
At first they tried moving me to one of the remaining 77W flights out of FRA (but I think because of them trying they downgraded Jan to 789 a few days later).
I had asked for the ex-LHR flight from the beginning but only then did they secure the 2 seats for us.
I think there were only 3 seats available when they opened O for us.
Just had to cann A3 to reissue the ticket after that.
