I don't know if your specific special meal request has been carried over, but don't assume that "No Special Meal Offered" means that no special meals are offered. Confused yet?

Just called to confirm that the requested special meal carried over to my reservation for SFO-NRT but was told the Japanese meal may not be an option...the agent tried several times and she could not add to my reservation. The other option she offered me was the Asian Vegetarian meal...
