If the person applying could convince Immigration that they were both about to move to Japan it might work I suppose.

No, but intend on doing extended visits that could be longer than 90 days, and the idea that the husband would have to leave seemed silly if he could get a one-year spouse visa (or dependent visa...or however you want to call it).
They live together, but their permanent residence is in the US. The wife does have an address in Japan (her parents' house), and her parents could be guarantors.
