6 times in 18 months isn't even frequent!
6 times a week (3x japan domestic returns) is common for us Japan based corporate travelers. JAL will then notice you as a special JAL Diamonds and might offer an upgrade.
Thanks....there are a few at my company that might fly that much....I'm in the US corporate office of a Japanese company, so a few of us go back and forth....some more frequent than others. Unfortunately my company has put it's foot down and will not allow those of us below a certain title to fly business...bummer since they want us to be productive in meetings.
