Booked in Y able to select J seat assignment

Traveling on JL869 on Feb 18th. This is part of a ORD-NRT-PEK trip with AA on the leg to NRT all booked in coach (O fare). When I went into JAL.com today to online check-in, I was able to select seats in what appears to be the smaller aft J class cabin. They came up in the seat map for economy (note that the larger forward J cabin didn't show). I managed to grab 8HK. Is this just JL offering the J seats with Y service or am I at risk of being bounced from these seats when we get to NRT?

It's a really common upgrading case of Asian flights, especially Lunar, Chinese, New Year season.

This just happened to me recently on JL69 to KIX. Awesome experience trying out the Shell Flat... However no such luck on the return flight JL60 outbound. Aft business cabin did not appear at all during seat selection.
