My suggestion would be Nami Tamaki, she's a good singer. Two of my favorite songs from her are Sanctuary and Get Wild. You can watch the videos here...

You didn't read her first post huh?

She listens to KoKo(Koda Kumi) and MiKo(misono) already.Ayumi would be parallel to Utada in execution but similar to misono in sound.Definitely worth listening and I can't believe I left her out.Mika Nakashima as 3 people past mentioned has very good ballads,much better than Koda's.She does majority ballads,not sure if that would be a problem for you.YUI is pretty rockish with a very soft voice however.I'm sure you can find something of her's you like though.Yuna Ito is up your aisle,L'arc~en~ciel I'd say try anything of their before 2007.I would introduce you to them just yet.But if you are gonna decide to just try some new Japanese artist period,go with the entire list.Except for arashi...I don't think their good.

I somewhat like Arashi, but my favourite band from Johnny's Entertainment must be KAT-TUN. A lot of songs are rubbish though, but they DO have some songs that are more rock than jpop that I like quite a lot, really. Interested? Check out Lips for starters.
Akanishi Jin (from KAT-TUN) made a very good solo performance during their last tour, featurin Crystal Kay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZAdk86Kt1Q

I do like Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) as well. Well, I bought his single (Loveless) recently so yeah... I like him. NEWS I can't really stand. Everything's too "kawaii" for my taste.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned YUI yet. =)
There's almost NOTHING with her on youtube, mostly covers, but I can recommend to download her stuff. She's a great artist and musician.

For the record I would very much recommend Arashi as well. They ARE good, no, they're AWESOME!! They're my second favorite Japanese singers, Utada of course is my first. But you should definitely check out Arashi as well. My two favorite Arashi songs are Truth and Believe. Here are the videos.

Let's Say I've Found Her Out (YouTube/Wiki/Etc) I Like Her! I'll Have To Download an Single Or Album On JMD(Japanese music Dream - Google It! lol)
I also Like day after tomorrow, misono's old band (Itzurana KISS - <3)
Yuna Ito has a distinctive voice! ^_^
So Does ayaka (Who I Found Out About While On Final Fantasy Wiki - Crisis Core lol)
YUKI Kinda Reminds me Of misono-chan!
Thanks For the guys that post! It's easier for me to explore the J-Pop/Rock World with suggestions!

You rolled out the big guns with Akino...Hoshi no Ame would change her life XD I'd say let her hear some Maaya Sakamoto and then set into Arai.
