Actually, the AJATT guy claims to have become fluent in Japanese before ever visiting Japan. That's the whole point of his method; immersion is the only way you'll ever really learn a language, and you can bring the immersion to yourself anytime, anywhere.

He also has some interesting methods for learning vocabulary and grammar that are worth looking at, especially since they apply to any language.
