My segment from NRT-SIN was originally booked in F and it's still there but status says "Contact ANA" and they added a segment in J and a new seat....they changed from 77W to 789 to accommadate 2nd LAX-NRT flight, any chance I could just not contact ANA, turn up at NRT, and ask to receive F ground services on account of that?

I assume you have received some form of compensation for the downgrade.

When your boarding pass will be issued it will be a J boarding pass. You could go to the Z counters for check-in, but I would guess the first class ground experience will end after that due to the boarding pass.

I didn't get anything...not even communication; I found out by checking CheckMyTrip. But it's an award ticket from Asiana Club with another segment in F so I'm not really sure what I can ask for....since they didn't notify me I wonder if I could just show up at NRT as if I had no idea and be angry and see what they give me, assuming they don't say anything at ORD.
Since you have an overnight connection, I don't think you will get your boarding pass for the second leg in ORD, but I am sure that if you do nothing they will mention the situation at check-in for the first leg.

I used the Z counters to check-in arriving F with a connection to J (different airports). They were all smiles tagging the bag onwards with red F priority labels. On arrival I notice they'd removed the tag and replaced it with business class only.
Yes. They were that petty.

So, to update. At ORD, I received next day NRT-SIN boarding pass in C with no comment from check-in agent. At NRT, I went to the Z check in where I was checked in but scolded for using it without an F flight and they took special care to get regular priority tags from elsewhere to put on my bags. I played dumb and said my ticket was in F, showed the original confirmation, agent said Asiana made a mistake and sent me to the regular security line.
At the lounge I mentioned that I arrived from Chicago in F and asked if I could use the F lounge, agent asked for BP and then disappeared into a back room for nearly 15 minutes after which they said I could use the F lounge....I honestly have no idea whether they the determined I could access it based on my previous day's F BP or thought that it was the right thing to do to let me access it after keeping me standing at the front of the lounge for nearly 15 minutes.
