Namida ga Ochi nai you ni - COLOR (many of COLOR's other songs would be good too)

[deevyne_]

[Blu_Velvet_Sea]

Maaya Sakamoto- Tune the rainbow
Maaya Sakamoto- Yubiwa
Maaya Sakamoto- The garden of everything *this gets a bit upbeat later on...so I'm not sure if you'll find this to your liking*
Kobukuro- Eien no tomo ni They're somewhat similar to Ken Hirai
Eri Nobuchika- Sketch for summer
Miwako Okuda- Tsuki ga Suki If you really like her style, I recommend her second album, which is more on the calmer side. Her first album was more 'emo', but it's pretty good too.

I tried not to suggest the typical artists of Jpop that you hear, but I thought maybe these 2 songs from Ai Otsuka won't hurt.
Ai Otsuka-Daisuki da yo
Ai Otsuka- Kingyo Hanabi

*edit
Okay I have to add:
Rikki- Suteki da ne If you are familiar with FFX you'll know this song very well haha

Some m-flo remixes are always a must in the Jpop
