Status won't help in this case, you will have to wait until checkin, sometimes even waiting until landing in NRT (I've booked N a few times and haven't learned my lesson yet). If seating is important to you on JAL, call and have AA reprice into another bucket. Haven't had any issues outside of N.
I believe JAL's website permits online checkin (or online management of your flight, including seat) 72 hours before flying. You may need your JAL PNR (which is not your AA PNR) to log on.
