According to this article(in Japanese), Air Asia plan to launch US West Coast from Nagoya.
The nonstop between US and Japan(Tokyo and Osaka) is always expensive compare to other places like HKG, PVG, PEK, TPE, BKK, SIN, MNL etc...But the flying distance between Japan and US is closer, even way closer than any cities in South East Asia. The reason cause the higher airfare is because of the JV(NH-UA,JL-AA). Especially some nonstop routes like SFO-NRT/HND is ridiculously expensive around $1300-$1800, where as you can fly to HKG or SIN by just paying $600-800.
Personally, I would like to see more Asian LCC enter the Japan-US market to compete with existing players and increase the capacity. In my point of view, NRT is an ideal place for long haul LCC hub between Japan and US.
