No. It appears to be an ANA specific procedure, possibly to "prepare for" a balked/rejected landing as someone else pointed out.

HOWEVER, even that rationale is misguided, because a landing should NOT be rejected after the reversers are deployed. The FO did not retract the flaps (looks like to 20) until after the Captain selected Reverse Thrust.
