JAL are using the 787 to replace 777s on thinner routes:

JAL tentatively plans to have the B787 replace the B777-200ER on all three of its weekly Tokyo Narita-Moscow services, a JAL spokeswoman tells CAPA. This will result in a 24% capacity reduction on the route......On Tokyo Narita-New Delhi JAL tentatively plans to deploy the B787 on four of the five weekly flights, keeping the B777-200ER on the last remaining frequency. .....JAL also plans to deploy its B787 daily on the Tokyo Haneda-Beijing route. ANA previously said its B787 would operate between the two cities, which form a strategically important route for the two neighbouring countries. It is no surprise the carriers would want to deploy their newest and best product on the route, as well as take advantage of cargo opportunities on the route. Air China's capacity currently eclipses both ANA and JAL.
