Japanese carriers, at least the potential A 390 operators ANA and JAL are firmly in the Boeing camp considering that they are more or less building half of the 767 and 777.
Would they need A 380 on domestic routes ?
Definitely, but it would not be the first case where national interests reject an airline from making an econimically sound choice...
