I would be checking bags. JL and ANA have an interline agreement, although I may actually have a BA leg to start and they also have interline agreements with both JL and ANA.
BA does not check in luggage across separate tickets. So if you start with a BA leg, they will not check the luggage further than the end of that ticket. They don't even do that BA to BA.
JL may check through to ANA, but there is no guarantee.
Remember the existence of an interline agreement does not mean that airlines will check luggage through across tickets. It means that they can pass luggage between them, and they would need it for single ticket operations. It is not a service commitment for separate tickets.
