Shizukusa Yumi.
she is really good. I love her voice. Listen to her Hana Kari.
Her English sounds good too.

This thread had been made many times. So I'm sure if you look a couple pages back, you'll find many suggestions on Japanese artists.

L'Arc-en-Ciel, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, and Miyavi are my favorites. X-Japan is good too. A lot of people like Dir en grey and Gackt but I find them incredibly annoying.

ooh, GLAY and Onitsuka Chihiro are really good~~

also try LUNA SEA ^^

ayumi hamasaki, m-flo, utada hikaru, dir en grey, & gackt just to name a few :] boa, se7en & dbsk have some good japanese songs too.
