Aoi Eir's songs are really good. She is my favourite singer. Other singers that I enjoy listening to are LiSA, Haruna Luna and Konimi Suzuki. I am a big fan of anime ops and one of my favourites is Unravel by TK.
Susumu Hirasawa, lol. won't say anything else :)
Asian Kung Fu Generation, is my favorite band :)
i like NEWS or Tegomass' songs, you can search their songs on Youtube. I really love these songs and their energetic performances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybwdJy9Y1Tg

Do as infinity and the Pillows :)
I really liked nano (ナノ). She's a unknown singer, borned in New York but living in Japan. I really would like that she's more famous 'cause her voice is really great.
Mono : amazing epic and emotional instrumental post rock band

Hybrid Leisureland : very peaceful, ambient electronic artist. great music to study to.

Melt Banana : crazy high energy noise rock band, so much fun

Tricot : great math rock band, talented, technical and beautiful.

食品まつり a.k.a Foodman: very avant-garde take on the electronic style Juke which originates in Chicago.

DJ Fulltono : Another amazing but less weird Japanese juke artist.

All from Tokyo except DJ Fulltono is from Osaka and Tricot is from Kyoto.
I love the classics, so I prefer most anything by Kyu Sakamoto, etc. They are also slower, so (generally) easier to keep up with, if you want to sing yourself. EXILE is funny if you like horrible "English" with your Japanese music.
nano and LiSA!
Yuki no Hana by Mika Nakashima
I like Exile; and honestly it is the only JPop band that drew most of my attention. Its subgroups like Generations are also cool.
Claris, LiSA, and Petit Milady are some of good jpop artists. Kalafina and Kanon Wakeshima have very distinct styles I enjoy as well.
A lot of this list is stuff I already listen to, like Konomi Suzuki, and I probably shouldn't ruin the list by adding the crazy bands I like such as Babymetal, haha...
和楽器バンド (Wagakki Band) :

@telozkope, Thanks for mentioning Tricot. I had never heard a Japanese math band before. That band is very talented and was well worth checking out. ^^
@Arachkid, I feel bad that I had no idea who he is. It's not really my kind of music but I do sometimes like to listen older music -- Anzen Chitai especially.
