Termination of massage service at HND and NRT lounges from Oct 1 2017

Unfortunately JAL has decided to terminate the complimentary massage service provided by therapists at HND and NRT lounges from Oct 1 2017. Instead, JAL plans to increase the number of Inada 3S Takumi medical massage chairs so more passengers can enjoy a massage before their flights.
Too bad this include the JAL F Lounges as well as the Sakura Lounges.

I only used the service once. To be honest the 15 minute session was kind of pointless, so I am not really sad to see it go. More like indifferent.

It's definitely better than inada 3S.Think I've only used it twice because it's always full LOL I had to go to the airport hours in advanced to use it.

But generally this is something I look forward in the lounge. And the robot beer dispenser.

Says 15 minutes but only goes for like 8-10 minutes. Heard Haneda therapist is better than Narita ones keeping the 15 minutes intact.
Use to be longer for First Class Lounge but it got cut.

If I am arriving to NRT from an international JAL F flight and connecting to a domestic JAL economy flight. Can I avail myself of the F lounge and massage services at NRT ?
