Certainly, you can get to any city that AA serves with its own metal. You may have to make a connection or two to get there from LIT, but that should not be an issue. I know that AA serves both Tokyo and Shanghai (and will be adding Beijing in a few months), so those are possibilities.

You might also want to inquire of the BAEC service center as to whether cdeshares operated by a second carrier -- but carrying an AA flight number -- count as AA flights for award redemption purposes. If codeshares are permissible for redemption purposes, and if you can leave from DFW, you should have many more destination choices, as the AA nonstops between DFW and NRT also carry JL flight numbers as codeshares.

I also find this site helpful for pulling up oneworld schedules between any two cities. It identifies codeshare flights as well:
