Meanwhile, reports from Japan claimed that LH is still evaluating this route, and does not rule out operating into Tokyo Haneda Airport.

If LH operate a similar schedule to the NH FRA-HND (HND0100 – 0525FRA1115 – 0645+1HND), that would mean a plane would need to sit at HND for 16+hours
The only other possibility I see not to keep the plane so long at HND would be something like:
DUS1000-0530HND
HND0700-1125DUS
The downsides would be not much connecting traffic to a 10am departure out of DUS (only German Domestic, LHR, MXP seem to be connectable)
And an early departure out HND not allowing intra Japan connections to make this flight.
Is there another possible schedule I'm not thinking of for a DUS-HND?

Here is the schedule from LH
From 1 June 2012
DUS-NRT daily except Tuesdays,
NRT-DUS daily except Wednesdays
LH 716 Düsseldorf 13:00 hours – Tokyo/Narita 07:30 hours
LH 717 Düsseldorf 09:00 hours – Tokyo/Narita 14:20 hours
HND timings are too restrictive. Having used the BA flight only in the HND to LHR direction, I find it very handy.
Connecting through DUS will be a pleasure compared to FRA!!

I think the hard part is to go around the eligible operating hours (11pm-7am IIRC).

AF282 CDG 11:00 - HND 06:55 +1
AF283 HND 01:30 - CDG 06:20
but it's a codeshare and operated by JL.
BA flies their own metal (AFAIK):
BA7 LHR 08:05 - HND 04:55 +1
BA8 HND 06:25 - LHR 10:00
I don't know how popular this flight is. As London Airways they probably don't care about anybody who cannot make the 08:05 flight from LHR. Almost everybody will need to stay near the airport or spend the night at the airport for the 06:25 departure.
I would like to try an overnight flight (instead of a very "short" overnight flight EUR-JPN, or a long day flight JPN-EUR) but BA's timing doesn't seem attractive to me.

FRA 13:40 - NRT 07:40 +1
NRT 09:30 - FRA 14:20
MAN-DUS-ORD is usually the cheapest option between MAN and ORD.

I just don't know if DUS would generate enough origin traffic to follow that model.

The early flight DUS-VIE is usually packed with people who came off the EWR flight and the other way around, there are plenty of pax onboard that want to make it to EWR, ORD, etc....
And it's not just on the VIE flights that I get that impression....

I've flown BA7/8 once shortly after the earthquake. It's full in Y W, half full in J and I was the only person in F.
AF has:

AF283 HND 01:30 - CDG 06:20

I've seen very beautiful scene outside the window when arriving into Japan.
