Airbubba. I think you'll find the Narita procedure is due to their view of the risk of blue ice, not bodies falling onto the rice paddies.

Never understood the purpose of gear down prior to the coast anyway. We seem to drop the gear over the beach as I'm sure most pilots do which would put any blue ice or wheel bay stowaways on a trajectory for contact with the ground anyway.
