Personally, I stopped flying them during the night as what is the point of paying for business or first if you can't sleep due to the heat?

Just did an r/t where the first leg was chilly by NH standards and the the second was just fine without a fan, even for me. Lots of inconsistency!

And note, avg body temp for Japanese is 36 C, about one deg lower than avg western body temp. At least that's what Japanese people say.
I know kids will be sent home from school if they have a temp of 37 C, because school says they have a fever.
This may have something to do with higher cabin temps too.

On the subject of cabin temperature:
I took two NH long haul business class flights in June, both on the B789. One was comfortable for me in shorts and a t-shirt. The other flight I was sweating wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I use the blanket as an additional layer of cushioning, in addition to the excellent mattress pad. I never cover up at all on NH. I would estimate that 75% of my NH flights are uncomfortably warm.

I’ve asked both NH and JL crews to lower the temperature slightly, and they have done it every time. Well, once I had to ask twice; I think that was JL. Most of these flights were in Y with a couple of C flights. I think it’s just a matter of making it clear that you are only asking for a very small adjustment; you wouldn’t want anyone else (all the Japanese passengers) to get chilly. Also, IIRC big aircraft like the 773 have multiple climate zones that can be adjusted; the temp setting doesn’t have to apply to the entire aircraft.

I've only been on ANA for one trip so far, ORD-NRT (edit: and back) in April. Y cabin. Can't say I ever felt like I noticed it being particularly warm. Seemed pretty comfortable to me, tee shirt and shorts. Slept fine.
With that said there are times on (US) domestic carrier flights where I feel like it's a little chilly. Maybe this is just closer to my usual comfort zone, who knows.

I find the F cabins a bit warm for my liking, but it’s never unbearably hot (also most of it is probably due to the pajamas being long sleeved, as I usually wear a T-shirt and shorts on planes). I notice the warmth the most when I wake up after napping, and mid flight but I usually roll up my pajama pants and use the cooling leg sheets they provide (they are amazing btw.)

Just got back from NRT a few hours ago on NH6 (NRT-LAX) in F. It was hot in an otherwise empty cabin, to the point that I was sweating for a period and wasn't comfortable enough to sleep. NH5 from LAX-NRT a couple weeks ago was fine, on the cooler side.

By any chance did you ask a F/A to lower the temperature? They have the ability to control the temperature by zones, and F should be its own zone, and if not it would only share the zone with the mini J cabin behind it.

If you're flying in F you can ask them to change the cabin temperature. I've never been refused in F. Out of the times I've flown international J and asked them to change the cabin temperature, they did it ~20% of the time. I don't get why people don't just ask, they're pretty accommodating.
