That seems very wrong to me. I'm a fan of all 3 of Takahashi, Kozuka, and Oda, but Nobu is the one who completely blew the SP last year at Worlds failing to advance to the top 24 in the LP, so he should be the one who has to go through qualifying.
I believe that no matter what, it's going to be Kozu because even with the points earned at 4CC, he'll have another comp's points deducted and will end up the third man from Japan.
While you are right, Oda is the one who "blew it" last year, it's not a decision JSF can make on who goes to QR, it will be based on the ISU ranking point system. I believe Laura Lepisto (2010 World Bronze medallist!!!) has to do qualifying as well.
