Courier flights are not a good bet since 9-11 (actually, they weren’t a good bet before 9-11, either). Your best bet is to wait for a good sale fare and be ready to purchase when you get notice. Sign up for alerts at http://www.farecompare.com You can check routes, see the last sale prices, and get alerts all on the same page. You can also see prices from LAX to all Asia here: http://www.farecompare.com/maps/myAirportCategoryMap.html?departure=LAX&category=Asia — I would bookmark and check back occasionally for updated fares, or just sign up for sale alerts sent to your email.
Right now, American has LAX-Tokyo for 5rt total with all taxes incl.
