I’ll just list some of my favorite bands: Little Glee Monster. Bump of Chicken. Amazarashi. Stereopony. Asian Kung-Fu Generation. Girls Dead Monster (yes from Angel Beats) Porno Graffitti. Radwimps.
There’s nothing better than Shiina Ringo
r/citypop
Give “Love Trip” by Takako Mamiya or “Timely!” by Anri a try.
Check out some the spotify playlists that are being shared there.
There are cover artists in youtube like Goosehouse and Kobasolo. If you like some of their covers songs, look up the original artists to the songs and discover more songs from those artists.
I personally like Radwimps, Aimyon, Back number, LiSA…the peggies are cool too.
Anything Ado
The Pillows, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Shugo Tokumaru, Ichiko Aoba, Marble, Pearl Brothers and anything made by Youko Kanno.
Oral Cigarettes, Zutomayo, Sumika, Takayan, and King Gnu are my recommendations
I like Sumika and my Japanese friends like it too and say it is popular in Japan. A more indie band I like a lot is Local Connect.
Dustcell has kinda similar vibes to Yoasobi, also maybe Sekai no Owari
Minami!
Oh you’ll love Yama if that’s the case. DAOKO, Minmi, Ye-ye, Mega Shinnosuke. If you like chill music and jazz love Lamp and Blu-Swing, ALI is also great. fave HipHop artist is Tens Unique.
