Get your CFI/CFII/MEI and teach at a Japanese flight school based in the states. I did that for several years and the mix of students who were looking to go pro as opposed to private was about 90/10. The school I taught at trained students for their private SEL and then sent them to Sacramento for their rotor craft ticket. It was a great way to make contacts and it also gave me the opportunity to experience the Japanese way of doing things.
