I don't think there are too many fans of japanese music in here, but Akiko Shikata is a japanese singer unlike the typical japanese pop singer, where as, they sing in a cutesy form, and dress up like a Barbie doll.
She recently released her debut album, Navigatoria, which has a page here, (http://hats.jp/shikata.htm#HUBD-10011) where you can listen to a handful of song samples from the album. My favorite song from that selection is "Navigatoria"; her singing style is quite unique....almost angelic, and...I can't think of anything else to describe it. It's definitely not whiney and zaney like typical japanese pop music.
