She sings mostly in english. I don't know why, but I don't like when japanese singers use too much english.

Try revisiting the former queen of J-rock, Nanase Aikawa, if you haven't yet. Gone were the days when artists of her caliber reigned supreme All we have nowadays are Johnny's J-groups!

Hikki has one exquisite pop/rock song from her Deep River album: Uso Mitaina I Love You. Hitomi has a lot of wonderful pop/rock songs that are quite similar to Ayu's stuff. Try her Love Life and huma-rhythm albums. Or just buy her singles collection: Self Portrait. I also slightly prefer Tomoko Kawase's material with The Brilliant Green to her Tommy songs. Try Love Psychedelico, Judy and Mary, and Luna Sea. Would you be interested in older J-rock? (from the 70s and 80s). How about progressive rock like Radiohead? If you do, I'd recommend Supercar and Miki Furukawa's solo album, Mirrors.

I don't like most of visual kei either, so I didn't include any here

I'll try Nanase Aikawa!

I'm already listening to Shiina Ringo, fra-foa and Cocco! And also hitomi, the brillant green and JUDY AND MARY! I consider hitomi and the brilliant green more "pop" even if they have a rock side too.

Thanks! I tried Aya Kamiki and I loveeee her!

I already know Miz. I don't really like her music. Plus, too much english. XD

They are not as popular among Western J-rock fans (but extremely popular in Japan), but their music is excellent and the singer's voice is so smooth and great. Most of their stuff is very mellow and catchy. They've been around since the mid 80's, so they have a lot of material. Even though they've been around for ages, their material still sounds fresh and modern. Since you like Laruku, I think you would like Spitz. If you want some songs, PM me.

I already listen to SPITZ's music! I don't really consider their music "rock". Their sound is rather mellow, like you said. Kind of like REMIOROMEN.
