JPOP:
Do as Infinity - Under the Moon - Great song to study to
Anything else by DAI

JPOP/ROCK:
Glamorous Sky - Mika Nakashima - Also try Fed Up if you can find it
Kakan - Tsukiko Amano - Also try Chou, Ryuu, Aomurasaki if you can find it
Road - Gackt

JROCK:
Third Eye - The Pillows

R'n'B
m-flo - Let Go

gackt is pretty *_*

and lots of mflo collaborations are really good. i loved m-flo loves melody and ryohei - miss you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD59LJX2r38

In general, you'd want to avoid rappers (like Seamo) and bands like m-flo because they sing quite fast.~ But some m-flo ones have their ft. by other artists that sing slower. A great example is one that shinny just posted above (m-flo - Let Go) which has a very nice, slow melody.

Really hit those fast rapping songs if you just want to make listening to normal Japanese seem slow. XD

i see nothing surprising there
except that beginner outsold heavy rotation, when heavy rotation had way more fanservice in the pv
LOL
if tohoshinki was still active, they probably wouldve been in that top 10, but oh well.

Didn't even put Laraku on my last post because I thought it'd be a bit too far from conventional Western music Let me know how you find it ahah
