If JL is not making connecting flights from TYO onward to other Asian destinations available, blame JL for that, not AA. But if you hold a 60K award flight itinerary to TYO, you can always call AA and ask if they are able to add on a TYO-Japan/Korea segment for no additional mileage. Other Asian destinations would cost 70K AAdvantage miles in Business.
The problem isn't so much with availability of US->TYO, which seems to be generally available if one is diligent in searching. The problem is getting home, which is sort of strange to me because the planes fly in both directions...
