This is the only J-Pop artist I know.

B.O.A.

Edit: I did some quick research and she's actually Korean but still a good song anyways.

I dunno either - had a craze about J-Pop in the late 90s and grabbed every AvexTrax comp there is (some have track duplication)

I look at songs rather than albums mainly. But Shoko Nakagawa's (aka Shokotan) Big☆Bang album is quite consistent.

She isn't just a singer she started out as a gravure idol, then obsessively has updated a personal blog (over a billion hits by 2008), became a singer in 06, she has become a major TV personality and presenter of programs, has done voice acting for anime as well as normal acting in other things, even directed a small film. She is known for being very eccentric and cute. She is a very good illustrator being a huge fan of anime and is a famous cosplayer (dresses up as anime characters, though other characters as well). She likes classic Japanese pop and her idol is Seiko.

Ballad off the album called 'starry pink'....

Cute picture compilation of her to a later song (not on the album)....
