JAL will check your luggage through to MH, no problem. 2 hours is fine for a transit in Singapore. Transit security is at the departure gate, so you'd only need to reach that in reasonable time for departure, so even a quite heavy delay will not see you caught in a central security check.

To quickly clarify, JL lands at terminal 1 and MH departure is at terminal 2. I can transfer terminals airside at Changi and then i look for a MH transit counter to check in and get a boarding pass?.

JAL should be able to check you into the MH flight and hand you both boarding passes before you leave HND. They will check through any luggage also. No need to use the transit counter, just hand the JL check-in agent both itineraries at HND.

Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are connected airside at Changi. The three buildings form a U-shape with T1 in the centre. Depending on luck, the arrival gate and departure gate might even be next to each other.

I wasn't sure where to put this question so apologies if this isn't the right place. With all of this downtime, I (optimistically) rebooked our cancelled trip for summer 2021. I can't for the life of me get the AA award tool (or agent) to book me on ITM HND ORD so I'm giving up and booking them separately (understanding the risks).
Will I be able to check my bag through to ORD in this scenario?
Thank you!

Similar issue to the above, being optimistic for an Avios funded trip in Easter 2021. Wanting to travel Manila to Haneda (arriving at 04:45) and then to Heathrow same day at 11:20 (there is an early flight at 08:50 but wanting some buffer) both on JAL metal. Odd tax/charges make this way cheaper to book as separate bookings, but will JAL be able to check my bags all the way through from Manila or will I have to collect bags and re-check in Haneda as on different PNRs.
Appreciate any advice from JAL forum experts.

Just reading the comments from this thread, I have got an alternative answer from JAL customer service.
I am due to fly FRA-NRT in March on 1 PNR number and would like to attach another PNR booking (not yet booked) LHR-FRA avios booking from BA to avoid having to collect bags, exit and then check in again. I called JAL and they state this would not be possible? Am I missing something here?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You would need to get JAL, or who issued your ticket, to amend it from being FRA-NRT to being LHR-FRA-NRT. With the change fees that encurs.
