Sorry, only in German. According to the article, JAL is proposing cutting international flights from Japan and becoming mainly a Japanese domestic airline. The Government has refused to guarantee and more bank loans and so banks are not likely to lend any more without these guarantees.
ANA has already signaled they would be willing to take over most international routes dropped by JAL, though they already heavily overlap. I'm sure English version news will be out on this shortly.

Wow! I'll miss seeing those monster JAL planes in LA and JFK next time I'm in either city.

Here are the important parts. If you use Google Chrome, it translates it for you.

The rival All Nippon Airways (ANA) is considering to take over the routes, reported the newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun. The company wanted to offer more flights to Europe and the United States and had already expressed his interest to the government, it said in the report, citing unnamed sources.
Several ministers had before a report by the Mainichi Shimbun said a takeover of the global routes by JAL, ANA brought into play. Transport Minister Seiji Maehara, however, was against the plan because it would offer flights to foreign countries only by a Japanese airline.
Any opinion/comment posted is that of my own and not that of Southwest Airlines Co.

If this is to happen, then the dream of A380s for ANA is going to become reality indeed, IMHO.
If they become Japans only international airline, they'll have the volume to fill these planes on certain routes and they'll definitely feel the need to take up the challenge, because if don't step onto the VLA bandwagon, they will be eaten alive by other foreign airlines too.

NO way that JAL will leave the international skies anytime soon.
There is no official information given by either JAL, the banks, or the Japanese government in this case. The newsitem as shown in the link is not based on facts, but only rumours.

Quoting Airbuseric (Reply 5): NO way that JAL will leave the international skies anytime soon.
I agree. For reasons of "face" - so important in Asia - I just can't see it happening.

All I see at the moment is this: JAL moaning under it's own weight. They NEED to shed some pension liabilities. They are making a lot of noise, drawing a lot of attention to make this debt reduction happen somehow.
ANA sees an "opportunity"
No way this will play out ANA's way. JAL will not allow it to go that far.
Question Conventional Wisdom. While not all commonly held beliefs are wrong…all should be questioned.

I hope for JAL, and for you personally, that this will certainly not happen!

I know that this will not happen. At least, something will happen of course, but not what's mentioned in this thread. But, there will be an interesting announcement within a few weeks from now...
