Depending on SS2 refurbish schedules. I personally expect SS2 to appear on all SS9/SS8 routes when demand is high and swap back and forth during high/low demand seasons.
SS2 has already flown NRT-CGK

But isn't JL725 operated by SS2 is a downgrade in terms of capacity? It is one of the current SS7 flights.

I am looking at flying JL772 SYD-NRT J one-way. Even if it is SS2, is it still OK to fly on day flight? what is your experiences? JL is still more direct than SQ which I already had it ticketed and guarantee flat beds on both legs.
Also regardless of SS2/SS9, how is the food on this route? Is it better than SQ?

I would not mind the SS2 seat for neither day nor night flights, but be sure to get a window rather than the middle. And if you have to get a middle, don't get the right hand side that has the high position when fully reclined.

In the long term we could see SS9 moving away from CGK and SS2 moved in. With SYD going SS2.
JAL just needs additional long haul aircraft to open new routes or increase capacity after March 26th restriction stops!
We shall see what JAL updates in Aug/Sep when the additional SS9 frames comes in during the year

SS2 & SS7 has almost identical amounts of seats. SS2 has no F less C and more Y.

2017年度からの中期経営計画は、4月末に通期決算と同時に発表。2月から3月に発表予定だったが、斉藤 専務は「慎重に策定している」と説明した。米国でトランプ政権が誕生し、外国企業や移民に対する厳しい施策 など、不確定要素が多くみられることから、動向の見極めに時間を要しているとみられる。

For travel in general, Perth is much smaller and most airlines from that part of the world either don't fly there at all (e.g. CA, MU) or fly twice the capacity to MEL as PER (e.g. TG, CX).
When it comes to filling premium cabins, the situation for PER is likely to be even worse. PER's main business travel is for mining, which is in a slump. MEL's main business travel is for manufacturing and there are some major partners for Japanese businesses located there.
