Indie & Soft Japanese/J-ROCK bands?

[Rosaceae]

Hi! I just got hooked into, Plastic Tree , indigo la End and RADWIMPS. I am now curious for more bands with a sort of soft, alternative rock genre in their songs.

I'm also into bands with more progressive (not very heavy) and slight hints of electronic songs such as Gesu no Kiwami Otome.

Even bands/soloists with the similar eerie singing style as RADWIMPS, indigo la End/Gesu no Kiwami Otome would do ok with me

I'm welcoming all kinds of recommendations, thank you in advance! Do correct me if I got the genres wrong.

MUCC is good. you should try them out. Nightmare is another one. Kiyoshi Sugo, Mantenrou Opera, some of Gackt is pretty good, SUG. those ones are pretty good that i listen to but my list goes on forever. L Arc En Ciel is another that i forgot to mention too but theres so much. if you want more music you can always send me a message about my listen of some JRock/electronic etc.

The Pillows are my absolute favorite. They do really cool, unusual music and their songs are heavily featured in FLCL, which is one of my most favorite anime.

Here's my go-to song for them:

 

I also like Asian Kung Fu Generation, Guitar Wolf, and Alice Nine.

I really recommend Sakanaction. There's some electronica in their songs, but I don't think it's too heavy. Most, if not all of their music is just great. Here's a couple of samples:

Hello, I'm looking for Japanese pop/rock/ indie or dance artists to play on http://fortheloveofmusic.info/ radio. Do you have any thoughts on who I should contact to submit their music for worldwide 24/7 airplay? Thank you.
