MH flying A380 to NRT

While mucking about its booking engine, I notice MH has scheduled an A380 to NRT. Does anyone know why this is so? I thought their A380s only fly to LHR?

But why? Is it to rotate their aircraft? Or weaning the A380 off the LHR route?

Having six A380s, MH definitely has the capacity to fly to more destinations than just on double daily flights to Heathrow. At most, two idle A380s is not sustainable financially.

If the destination has the demand to be operated by an A380, then why not operate the A380?

As far as I know, KUL-NRT is a very crowded market. I've flown on both JL and MH on the route and I must mention how full the plane was, even more so in J.

It was very full when I flew MH 88 in August.
