Oh, you are correct, no demand for them - But shall I mention...

Tokyo to Sao Paulo -
Sao Paulo has the largest ethnic Japanese population outside Japan.
Also large Korean population. Flights to Seoul...
Varig used to fly to NRT with 747 and MD-11, with stop in Los Angeles.
Currently operated by JAL and KAL, daily flights, stops in Los Angeles.
Flight time would be 20 hours. Good traffic volume.
xxx
Buenos Aires to Tel Aviv -
BsAs has largest Jewish population (out of Israel) after New York.
No flights currently operated. Requires connection flight in Europe.
Would be a 16 hours long flight because N. Africa countries deny overflight.

Probably other pairings. I am not a traffic expert.
The idea is to avoid connections/fuel stops required in USA and Europe.
Heard many UK natives in Perth (Aus) need to stop in UAE for LHR.
Lebanese/Syrian ethnic population in Colombia/Venezuela to Beirut.
Avoiding "big hubs" concept for travel. US "point to point" traffic concept.

Just an idea. Next 20 years...maybe...?
Happy contrails
Forgot to mention -
Paris direct to Tahiti - excellent traffic, presently stops in Los Angeles.
Passengers hate US Immigration Nazis during stopover in LAX.
Paris to Noumea (New Caledonia) operated by AF through Middle East.
Both beyond range for non-stop. Volume undeniable (Tahiti tourists).
