I do feel like this video of a KAL 777 fighting strong winds / windshear might help one (that may or may not have flown into Narita before) more clearly understand what one is up against when landing at this airport with these extreme conditions.

I wouldn't exactly call this extreme conditions. More so, this is Pilot Induced Oscillations (PIO).
What KC10 said. If I have to change my pants just watching this, wonder how those pilots are doing?

I was looking and trying to figure exactly how far down the runway the actual touchdown was, at least at the end of the touchdown zone. However, from the response of the aircraft, a sinking/rolling motion, I agree that it was probably a case of wake turbulence that caused this touchdown.
