Check out this video of a UC Berkeley Japanese major who sings cool Japanese songs and puts them on YouTube. He has a very Japanese way about him, including his sense of humor (as he says himself in the intro of another video: "I know I don't look it, but I'm actually white") and he sings pretty well.
This one is called "Banzai" by the ウルフルズ (Ulfus), an Osaka band that had some kick-ass hits, including this one, from the 90s. Reminds me of riding the train home in high school.
Apparently, he takes requests, so send him a message with your favorite J-pop song and maybe you'll see it on YouTube soon.

man...that song is seriously natsukashii. reminds me of the karaoke marathons my friends and i would have. Singing that song was usually one of the last ones of the night...
