You can't OLCI with AA more than 72 hours out. During OLCI AA will auto-generate a seat assignment for you. If you don't like the seat then you have to wait until you get to NRT to talk with a JL agent to get a different seat.
Terrible arrangement IMHO especially with both airlines being JV partners.
