I would seriously consider joining USAirways mile programs.
The do not fly to Japan, but you can buy miles from them at 100% bonus right now.
So basicly, for $825 (60k miles) plus fees and taxes you can fly United or ANA economy.
Or, $1250 (90k miles) plus fees and taxes gets you Business class on United or ANA.
Sound too good to be true, I just booked that way- for May though. I had some miles already, but we ended up having to buy lots of miles and still got our Business seats from Chicago for way, way less than coach seats go for.
This is how you do it:
1) sign up for free mileage account at US Airways site
2) call US Airways and see if any award travel is avilable on your dates. If so, they can reserve your tickets for 72 hours at no charge, giving you enough time to buy miles
3) Buy miles online (must be before July 31) and call them back to purchase
4) Go to UA or ANA website to pick your seat.
