In F, so 77W. Assigned it myself during olci as the whole cabin showed as open.

Is this a fluke, or can you actually book that seat?
I have searched Tokyo-LAX and KIX-LAX and there is no J availability in all of Dec. I assume this means there is no Japan-LAX availability even if I originate elsewhere in Asia.
Might more availability appear?

I found a date as you describe. My guess is that KIX-LAX is bookable. The date I checked shows availability on AA and AS. I suspect this is a married segment itinerary, only bookable together. BA online search does not show well married segments itineraries that span calendar days although it may be bookable on BA by calling in.
Have been playing around with this for the last few days to try and make a date change on an existing booking on a SE Asia-TYO-KIX routing.
Definitely married segments, not just for KIX but a large number of Japanese cities, but it is not bookable (at least with AS).
On the booking change search engine, any option selected leads to “
We're sorry, we aren't able to confirm space on these partner flights. Please try again and choose different flights, dates or cities.” Picking flights that match with ones showing on AA also doesn’t work.
