I truly believe that biz would be optimal on this route, which is probably a sentiment held by many...hence the difficulty finding award seats.
Next time try CX F (for same amount of miles) and a world of difference from AA F. CX F are relatively easy to get (easier than J). You would have to connect in HKG but it would be well worth it, IMO. You could even have a short stopover in HKG (under 24 hrs).
