I wouldn't be so sure. A lot of these schools are more businesses than schools, and the goal is to keep people coming to classes more than it is to internationalize the Japanese population. "The Look" is what gets people coming to classes and buying more hours.
Simply put, Japanese don't want to learn English from someone from Asia. (Though I wonder how students can learn one day from a Scotsman, the next from an Australian, the next from a Canadian, etc.) I would investigate the Chinese language route. I think you may have better luck.
