They do oversell like any other airline. Through my many JAL flights I have never experienced them calling for volunteers to go on another flight (maybe as I mainly fly international?), so they seem to have the situation managed well. I have had flights zeroed out in the class I booked, or in all classes, but I have yet to hear the call for volunteers. They probably oversell less aggressively than other airlines.
