Hi There!
Sorry to bring you bad news but there are no night trains available if you land at Haneda airport after 11.30pm. The only night-train covered by the JR Pass heading for Aomori is the Akebono express which leaves Ueno station around 22.00.
I would recommend taking a hotel near the airport / Tokyo station and than take an early Shinkansen from Tokyo station to Shin-Aomori. This way you would also be able to use your JR Pass for day 2-8 and cover all of your travel with it, including the way back to Haneda Airport.
I hope this helps!
Daniel
