All can register, and is not restricted by JP address or citizenship - confirmed w/ AAdv cust. svc.

Originating in DFW or ORD will give you enough to complete the Plat challenge.
If DFW, add DFW-LAX leg on return to knock about $150 off the fare.
Originating in LAX only gives you enough if it routes via DFW I believe.
And just fyi & fwiw, an Advantage customer service rep just assured my that class of service bonuses and EQP's earned are based on the booking code (i.e. the fare class you are booked in) and NOT the fare basis. Right or wrong???

Looking at possibly doing this in October, but mine is out of DCA, so the cost is about $300 more. I am AA Plat and it looks like most flights are on JAL and it routes me through NRT not HKG (which is fine for me), I know I'll be able to use the JAL lounges since I am AA Plat, but my flight gets me into CGK at 1:00 am and then my flight out isn't until 9:30 PM. I'd rather stick around at the airport than try and venture anywhere outside. What would be my options?

Actually, looking into doing this the 23rd of October -26th. I would have a layover at CGK from 1:00am - 6:45am when my flight back to NRT leaves. I see from prior posts that there may not be much of a transit area. Do I need to go through customs?
