New Japanese Music

Recently I've been a little neglectful when it comes to Japanese music, so I'd just like to ask for some recommendations from all you lovely people out there Artists, albums, individual songs, feel to free to recommend as many as possible, from any genre and era. To have some idea of my musical tastes, here are a few artists I like:

Angela Aki, Kosuke Atari, Tsukiko Amano, Aucifer, Bird, Chara, Cocco, Depapepe, Chitose Hajime, Judy and Mary, M-flo, Michio Miyagi, Rimi Natsukawa, Eri Nobuchika, Chihiro Onitsuka, Ringo Shiina, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, UA, Kana Uemura, Yuki

I'm particularly interested in: 80s and 90s Japanese pop, 80s and 90s idols, enka, traditional music. As you can see, I'm not that inclined towards visual kei, boy groups, and girl groups, although there will always be exceptions (Aucifer, dream's My Will is one of my favorite songs, and I definitely need to listen to more Kiroro).

Some beloved artists I only tend to like a few songs (Kokia, the brilliant green, Bonnie Pink, Superfly), some I don't get at all (Yui, alan). And if it's not too much trouble, maybe you could recommend where to start if you do recommend a certain artist?

Thanks so much for any help that comes my way!
