I agree. My employer has switched over to Star Alliance as preferred carrier in the last 6 months or so, so now I am flying ANA as opposed to JAL before.
ANA's lounges, I feel, do not measure up to JAL's. I have found this to be generally true when comparing the total flight experience between the two airlines - I much prefer JAL.
