I'd like to point out typo for Ballad section
Its "Kalafina" not "kalfina", also under recommendation you could add Chiaki Ishikawa, most people know that this is See-Saws vocals solo career but not all.

Chibi

[Zetaf]

my bad, thread edited including with ur recommendation

[Akatsuki]

ELLEGARDEN should be put under the Punk section rather than the Rock section IMO. I also think there should be a Metal and a Visual Kei/Oshare Kei/Angura Kei section, since I think they are sufficiently different from your usual J-Rock groups to warrant their own genre.

Anyway, my recommendations for the Pop, Techno and Rock genres below.

Pop: YUI, Utada Hikaru
Rock: abingdon boys school, Acid Black Cherry, B'z, Janne da Arc, L'Arc~en~Ciel
Techno: T.M.Revolution (to clear up any confusion, I'm not referring to myself, there IS an actual artist called T.M.Revolution, lol.)

[Evenstar1389]

btw for pop, it's Fictionjunction YUUKA not fiction yuuka.

Ballads: Kokia
Pop: Jyukai, Riyu Kosaka

[Otaku515 Dj-san]

I would recommend Remioromen, but I wonder if it should be under rock or Jpop

[lieke]

I think that if you like Olivia (Lufkin), you will like Rurutia. Their voices and music styles are quite similar..

[zeitgeist]

my recommendation..
Pop : Mr.Children, ayaka, Ayaka Hirahara, Hata Motohiro, Remioromen, EXILE, Ikimono Gakari, Kobukuro, YUI, Tainaka Sachi
Rock : Mr.Children, ayaka, Remioromen, L'Arc-en-Ciel, YUI, SPITZ
Okinawan Style : Natsukawa Rimi, BEGIN
Classic : Akikawa Masafumi

these are my favorite artists so far... there's still a lot to written if you want...

[gg.heato]

if i like Perfume, what else would i like?

and could u recommend some japanese techno plz ^^

[Sunfizz98]

I like Bump of Chicken and Spitz. Any other artists I should check out?

[gg.heato]

all artists have been inputed to the chart. plz suggest anything that would fit in the "you'll like" sections

[shadowsinz]

Current looking for some nice JRock bands that perhaps i've not heard of before.
