Ministry of Transport disclosed all conversation.
・Controller did not allow JA722A to enter the runway also did not cleared for take off too.
・But the captain of JA722A insisted "We were cleared for take off".
One simple misunderstanding caused tragedy.

MY OPINION:
Tragedy starts from 15:13.
There are two points:
One:
15:13 "No.1" could be one of the reason that JCG's crew misunderstood their sequence.
Even Haneda is busy, It's too short.
"No.1, After Japan air A359 landing" or something more information should be added.
And controller MUST watch runway. also they MUST warn anything that could cause an accident.
Give enough information. It's your fault.
Plus, You should learn English. We often can't understand what you want to say.
Two:
15:58 Controller told to JAL166 "No.2". "We have departure".
JA722A crews might misunderstand "There's no traffic in front of us."
Cause we were "No.1".
This could be a "Easy to Recognize" order.
No.1 JAL516
No.2 JA722A
No.3 JAL166
MY CONCLUSION:
ATC: Your order is ambiguous and inappropriate.
Watch runway, and say "JAL516 Go Around".
Lack of awareness made sadness.
This is what you have to do.
ua-cam.com/video/xjeyQdvxgj4/v-deo.html
In this case, everybody recognize their position.
Even radio is inaudible, they can avoid collision.
Miami is busier than Tokyo.
JA722A: Why did you enter the runway?
JAL516: Why you didn't go around?
R.I.P.
