NU are listed as a JL and OW affiliate airline on aa.com
oneworld Affiliate Airlines
JAL Express
J-Air
Japan Transocean Air
and:
Travel on Japan Airlines and affiliate airlines counts toward qualifying for AAdvantage elite status membership.
I would HUACA.
Are you running into the problem that certain Japan domestic flights can only be booked within 60 days of the flight unless they are a domestic addon to a longhaul flight:
From ba.com:
Redemptions on Japanese domestic flights may only be booked two months from the date of return flight and only in the economy cabin. This restriction does not apply to domestic flights booked in conjunction with international flights.
