Japanese Music Recommendations?

[Uemarasan]

I haven't been paying as much attention to the J-pop scene this year (personal matters), so I'm going to cop out and ask you guys for help Could you guys recommend some good albums or singles released in 2006? To help you guys out:

1. I don't care what genre of music it is. J-pop, J-rock, visual kei, enka, Okinawan music, shamisen, koto, biwa, Buddhist chants, bring it on

2. Please don't include and Johnny's Jimusho or Hello Project works. I've probably already heard it.

3. Likewise, I've heard most of the hit singles and albums: Ayu, Hikki, B'z, Def Tech, Yui, Koda Kumi. I've also heard Tokyo Jihen, Ken Hirai, Cocco, Chitose Hajime, aiko, Glay, Yuna Ito, Ai Otsuka, Ami Suzuki, Namie Amuro, ayaka, Mika Nakashima, Depapepe, Mr. Children, Exile, Orange Range, Kaela Kimura, Dreams Come True, BoA, K, Crystal Kay, Yuki, hitomi, globe, Tomiko Van, UA, and the Nana stuff.

4. I've only listened to very few male artists and male-fronted bands, so recommend at will!

5. I have trouble finding info about indies, so that's what I'm most interested in.
