They may release more seats, but not very likely to happen. Unlike US based carriers, ANA will fly with empty seats in the premium cabins rather release for awards or upgrades. They are protective of their premium cabins.
Also they do tend to sell the J cabin when you get close in. So if any releases are coming, don't expect them until 2-3 weeks before the flight.
