Whenever someone says that an artist is "just like" Utada, I usually only take that with a grain of salt, because Utada is so versatile and unique nobody is really "just like" her.

I'd like to add ikimono-gakari and the brilliant green to my list. Can you tell I like female rockers?

I find most J-pop grating to listen to. Why is it that you have to look to Enka to find the technically good singers? I don't get it. However, occasionally, there are some J-pop singers who really knock it out of the park. My faves are:

Angela Aki
Ayaka 絢香
Ikimonogakari いきものがかり
MISIA
Dreams Come True
Spitz スピッツ
Kobukuro コブクロ
Superfly
Onitsuka Chihiro  鬼束ちひろ (wish she had better songs, she can wail)

The following aren't the best singers, but they write good music, most of the time.

Kimura Kaela 木村 カエラ
Hirai Ken 平井堅 (I think of him as the male version of Utada)
Chara
Hamasaki Ayumi 浜崎あゆみ (her earlier stuff & remixes are more interesting)
Every Little Thing (their 1st two albums only - the current stuff is horrible)


Yeah a lot of people say Hirai Ken's voice & style is the male version of Hikki. I personally don't think so though. He has covered some of her songs.
