Depends on what kind of music you like actually.
The question is like "recommand me some good american bands".
Be more specific.
Electro, rock, noise...?
Susumu Hirasawa has some interesting Electro. Dir En Grey has a few good tunes, X (Japan) has a 30 minute song that really isn't all that great but I keep hearing it all the time and so you should be subjected to it as well. It's called "Art of Life," or "is this damn thing over yet?"
Susumu Yokota, Ken Ishii, Yoshinori Sunahara, Kagami, Takkyu Ishino... if you`re into electronic stuff

Noise/experimental: Melt Banana, Merzbow, Keiji Haino, Boredoms
J-Rock: The Pillows, Bump of Chicken,
Video Games/Based on Video Games: The Black Mages, Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo
J-Pop: Gackt, L'arc en Ciel, Glay, Do As Infinity, Otsuka Ai
I like Japanese music in that order but if you're just starting to listen to Japanese stuff, I'd recommend you start with J-Pop or Video Game stuff depending on how much you're into gaming. If you want some thing a bit heavier I'd recommend you move on to J-Rock first then the Noise stuff.
Enjoy.

Shimano Momoe, Swinging Popsicle, Something ELse, Bonnie Pink, Serani Poji, Aco, Akino Arai, and plenty others. It really depends on what type of Japanese music you're looking for. Pop, hiphop, R&B, ska, punk, or whatever.
Gazette, Heidi (new band, 2 singles & album coming soon), Do As Infinity, Ayabie, Youjeen, Hyde, Hide, among many other good ones that have been reccommended.
Try to listen to some internet radio stations. www.shoutcast.com, find a j* station, perhaps you will hear something that you like.
I have a station up sometimes, and I try only to play what I find to be very good. Usually have jmusic playing 1/2 the time or more.
