Why is one way ticket from Japan to USA very expensive with Japanese airlines?

So, this is a mystery to me.

If you try to buy a one way ticket non-stop or even 1 stop from Japan to USA, one way ticket, with Japanese airlines, it is really expensive, for any date.

Meanwhile, their two way (round-trip) is regular price.

For example, say, pick these data points:

- Date: April 1

- Airline: All Nippon Airways

- Price: around $5k - $6k

This is so weird, no one will buy those tickets. People will just do:

- Use other airlines, such as Korean Air, or

- Get 2 way tickets and just don't use the return ticket

​

Can anyone explain this anomaly?
