Completely agree with these singles.

I'll add some more, I'll try to limit it per artist because there are just so many...:
BoA - Kiseki/No.1
BoA - Valenti
BoA - Winter Love
MISIA - Hatenaku Tsudzuku Story
MISIA - Royal Chocolate Flush
Ayumi Hamasaki - Far Away
Ayumi Hamasaki - appears
Namie Amuro (And the "Super Monkeys" technically) - Taiyou no SEASON
Rina Aiuchi - Navy Blue
Rina Auichi - Koi wa Thrill, Shock, Suspense
Mai Kuraki - Love, Day After Tomorrow
Mai Kuraki - Perfect Crime/Can't Forget Your Love
Lena Park - Ai No Jealousy
Miliyah Kato - Never let go / Yozora
Miliyah Kato - 19 Memories
Koda Kumi - So Into You
Koda Kumi - Color of Soul
Morning Musume - Memory Seishun no Hikari
Morning Musume - Renai Revolution 21
Nanase Aikawa - Yume Miru Shoujo ja Irarenai
Nanase Aikawa - Nostalgia
Hikaru Utada - First Love
Hikaru Utada - Automatic
ZARD - IN MY ARMS TONIGHT
ZARD - Ai ga Mienai

I encourage listening to some of the above as I imagine no one knows all of them.

As for albums, all of Masami Okui's. The 5 or so I've heard (2 being greatest hits) were amazing from start to finish. Shame her music is so underrated, and hard to find too!

Whta a coincidence. I see you like both Ayumi & Hikki. It was actually Hikki who stopped appears from reaching the top spot with Addicted To You.

Haha yeah, it's weird how they like to pit the females against each other sometimes. I remember Ayu and Mai Kuraki going against each other with singles constantly and Ayu dominating everytime, leaving Mai with like 10 #2 singles.

Ayu also kept that one Morning Musume single from getting #1.

She has stopped big bands too! Ayu kept Mr Children from having a #1 album with Duty...and I think she stopped Kinki Kids #1 Album streak with Rainbow.

Not in my opinion. That's the only reason I didn't list GUILTY. It still got #1 weekly sales, just not for oricon. That's good enough for me.
