The 777 tail scrape on takeoff at LHR was a United aircraft.

There was also a Korean Airlines 777 tailstrike on landing at Narita

I'm also aware of a Continental 777 tail strike on takeoff on a flight from Newark to Hong Kong in 2005 and A Malaysian 777 tailstrike on takeoff at Zurich see photo link below

So JAL don't have a monopoly on tail strikes....
