    I am looking for some recommendations of good Japanese pop or rock bands. Preferably with a male lead singer.

    Hizaki Grace Project was a short lived, but amazing band. Great vocalist and, of course, Hizaki on guitar.

    Arlequin and girugamesh are my favorites right now. Kind of border onto metal but pretty diverse.

    J/Rock: TK from ling tosite sigure (see if you can find "Abnormalize" from Psycho Pass, "Signal" from 91 days," or "Unravel" from Tokyo Ghoul)....good stuff.

    J/Rock: SID ("Monochrome Kiss" and "Enamel" are pretty famous.)

    Solo artist for J/Pop: Mamoru Miyano (has good vocal range...well he is a voice actor as well!)

    I love J/Rock or J/Pop. The best way to find artists is through anime, IMHO.

    I'll post again if I think of anymore bands/singers.

    Here is a link to a thread I started awhile back...may have some more suggestions.
