In fact I think there were talks about charging for drinks on the new JAL LCC brand (according to the rumor).
But drink service will be awfully long. Considered Japan is still a cash community. If everyone is paying for the drinks on those high capacity 744P or 777-300. I am not sure if they can finish drink service on short flights like HND-ITM
