I'm kinda slow, so I just noticed this thread, and thought I would share my favorites with all of you, for what it's worth.
Since I am a confirmed polytheist, I am unashamed to confess that I have been worshiping at the altar of these two artists for many years now. I consider them the finest male and female songwriters in America today. At least they speak to me.

I won't leave these up for long. I don't want anyone hassling me about copyrights and whatnot. So download fast and enjoy.

I liked the Yuki song. It was quite an original beat, video, and lyrical tone. Catchy.
To answer your question, thanks to my stepdaughter, I'm just barely in touch with the J-pop scene. I really, really like Ayumi Hamasaki. Here are some really good sample mixes of her songs:
Part I (skip ahead to 2:15 & 3:58 if you get bored)
Part II (skip ahead to 1:39 & 7:45 if you get bored)
Moniker: I'd really like to know what you think of these two tracks.
I didn't get bored, so I didn't skip ahead.
I felt a sudden urge to pop a lolli in my mouth and grab some rave sticks... :)
I tried to find some crystalmethbunny on youtube... no suck luck!

Pain from pearls -hey little girl
How much have you grown
Pain from pearls - hey little girl
Flower for the ones youve known
Are you on fire
From the years
What would you give
For your kid fears
Secret staircase, running high
You had a hiding place
Secret staircase, running low
But they all know, now you're inside
Are you on fire
From the years
What would you give
For your kid fears
Your kid fears
Skipping stones, we know the price now
And any sin will do
How much further, if you can spin
How much further, if you are smooth
Are you on fire
[are you on fire]
From the years
[from the years? ]
What would you give
For your kid fears
[what would you give]
[what would replace the rent with the stars above]
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[replace the need with love]
(replace the need with love)
[replace the anger with the tide]
(replace the anger with the tide)
[replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love]
(replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love)
Ah the ones that you love
Are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[are you on fire]
From all the years
(replace the need with love)
[from the years]
What would you give
(replace the anger with the tide)
[what would you give]
For your kid fears
(for the ones that you love)
(the ones that you love)
Hold on now
Are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)

For sure. I'm not really sure how to describe it. There's just something really 'magical' about it (in my opinion)...
Here's another song from the film:
