just tried to purchase one MIA-NRT at 433.40 all in - when purchase page popped up, it said fare change to 1076. so the dec 9 deadline is true, eventhough it allows you to book but wont let you ticket at that price.

EDIT :

I called aa.com web-service number, and the agent over there said $433.40 still the valid fare showing on her system. so i bought it right away. 03/29 - 04/08, hope to see Sakura Festival. :-)

now i checked aa.com, the status has changed to "purchased" with 433.40.
