I am one who, too, has been blessed with a pretty accent-free Japanese. I don't know if being raised on the generic-American accent West Coast had anything to do with it, but I am sure 1) being taught by native speakers and 2) living in Japan had everything to do with it.
I am not sure that I am accent-free now, as I haven't lived there in a few years, but I was able to fool people on the phone.
On the other hand, it is not often I hear a native Japanese with accent-less English...
