I don't much about Japanese music (Rock, Pop, or Trad.)
my three favorite Japanese artist (so far) are:
1. Chichi & Sweet Papa
2. Hiromi Uehara
3. Puffy Ami Yumi

You forgot the shakuhachi
I have a shakuhachi album by an American artist and a Jazz album by an Japanese artist.
if you like, check out
Hiromi Uehara, she's an incredible piano player, some of her stuff reminds me Jazz/Prog mix of the Relayer album.
I found this amazing guitarplay (for her age) on Youtube, her name is Chichi. She plays
Telstar, that song was writen by Joe Meek, Tornados had a #1 hit in the UK in '62, he also produced The Syndicats (Steve Howe played guitar for them)
Chichi & Sweet Papa
