I am trying to fly out of LAX from either Dec 21-Dec 23 and fly back from Tokyo on January 6th.

Will AA release flights this late in the game or have I missed my window? Thanks.
Finding such flights over the Christmas-New Year's period seems unlikely. You don't necessarily need to fly AA; JL flies that route too. But I would be surprised if either were to make partner-award seats available for your desired dates of travel. When JL does, it is often one-two weeks before departure.
