I agree about YUI. Just off the top of my head: miwa, Rihwa, and Leo Ieiri all definitely fit the "pop/rock guitar girl" image, and I believe YUI's popularity helped them get signed and informed their public image early on in their careers (miwa and Leo Ieiri seem to have branched out some since then though).
