Put in the system and release to the public are two different things.(my take)
Put in the system = 4 January
Release to the public to buy the seats = 10 January.
I am waiting to hear from ANA Taiwan see what they are saying. I have good contacts with them. There's 8 hours time difference so I must be patient.
Of course you should not buy 182, it is a different flight. Yes, NH does operate two daily flights to Honolulu from Narita.
If you read what they write in English, and the translations of the Japanese, what is released on the 10th is first class and the couchii seats. For business, premium economy and economy they in Japanese use the word 発売中 see translation below You'll notice that 184 is for sale for all other days than 24/5. Even if it says 789 as plane type below.
To be honest, I don't know what they do and how they actually execute it, I merely comment on what they write. But being a Japanese company, my guess is the two are pretty close
If you want my best guess, between VIP and press use, AMC member tour packages, promotional use, they are holding their breath for the inaugural flight, and closer in, they will release what is left over of seats.
But let's see, in 3 days 7 hours and 39 minutes we have the deadline for realese of F and couchii. We'll see if 24%5 flight shows any availability
