Switching the first flight to AT, RJ, BA, or IB should use the EGP base fare, then you 'should' be able to pay the $125 fee to change it to QR right after ticketing.
Did you try it already?
Thanks for letting me know about Japan fare. I also tried to get quote for xTYO, but online tool can not issue the ticket due to JAL segment. The approximate overall cost for xDONE$ is $5500 from QF. I called AA to book it we will see AA's price. It looks like xCAI through RJ is only 1000 dollar cheaper.
