You know the answer, there is none -- particularly not 330 days in advance. CX will release seats within 2 weeks of the travel date, probably not before. QF will release seats for upgrades in that time frame, but probably not for awards.
I haven't checked, but KIX-CNS used to be operated by a sub-standard QF service, so it may not really be business class (no skybeds, for example). Not sure if all the japanese routes have been upgraded to the international long-haul standard yet.
