have dilenma of upselling my ticket to PEY as I need to extend trip duration HKG-HND... but cost of upsell is more than HKG-NRT on sale fare (on E01 787 equipment) so just thinking maybe I purchase another ticket to fly back/forth (back to back connecting in HK) with @Hope@ maybe Y=>J is possible (i'm OWE)

They do oversell the cabins. I have had a good streak of upgrades on the Ho Chi Minh City flights recently.

But I would not hold my breath for Hong Kong. Especially not as OWE, the Hong Kong flights are usually crazy in terms of the number of JAL status members on board.
