One of my favourite artists is Shiena Nishizawa. I LOVE her anime openings/ending/songs.

Necroing this thread to gush out my love for Gackt.

There are other Japanese music artists and a group I like, but most don't get the same love from me as Gackt does. His singing is just amazing, his style is cool, and he's just overall appealing to me. I first heard him in Dirge of Cerberus Final Fantasy VII years ago when listening to two of the game's songs, "Longing" and "Redemption", I became obsessed with those songs for so long that my dad's work friend was able to rip the songs for me. Later finding out he's the literal inspiration for Genesis Rhapsodos in DoC and Crisis Core FFVII, and even voicing him in Japanese, made me finally look up more about him, and had me liking the artist and Genesis even more (still my top favorite FFVII Compilation character, as an aside).

All of his songs are great, but other top favorites of mine are:
Last Song
Black Stone
Metamorphoze
Jesus
Haruko
Arrow
Journey Through the Decade

Of course other artists I like are: Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Hikaru Utada, NEWS, Vocaloids like Rin & Len and Luka, and even fictional boy idol groups from UtaPri, B-Project, Ensemble Stars, Dream Festival, IDOLiSH7, Hypnosis Mic, etc.

Uttara-Kuru! They're a band that combines traditional instruments with modern synths. It's super cool! I highly recommend their album East Wind.

Another artist I like is Naoyuki Onda (especially the album Dream).

I've listened to a lot of Japanese musicians and seiyuu songs since about...2004, I believe? But the one that'll always have a place in my heart is Two-Mix, consisting of singer/voice actress Minami Takayama and synthesizer/lyricist Shiina Nagano. I randomly stumbled upon the Gundam Wing opening song by complete accident as a kid, and I fell absolutely in love with it. That song, along with downloading the Japanese Hamtaro opening song, also by complete accident, sent me spiraling into anime fandom.

Been listening to a lot of Ado lately, after she took off last year with the release of うっせぇわ
She's going to be releasing her first album soon, so I'm looking forward to that.
