Welcome to FlyerTalk! Look for alternate routings and supply those to the agent. An AA agent is probably going to be more flexible that JAL with alternate routings. Focus on getting to a US gateway, particularly with trying to standby on earlier flights. It's likely to be easier to get onward flights from there, although your total travel time could be higher.
Compensation is very unlikely for weather events.
