Jun Togawa has some good material.
Midori (as well as their precursor, Usagi) is good stuff, though Mariko Goto's solo work isn't as strong.
Melt-Banana, some of the Acid Mother's Temple stuff. A lot of the more accessible stuff has been mentioned (Shinsei Kamatte-chan, Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, 385, Boris)

I really like sasakure.uk, but i like a lot of vocaloid. On the theme:
Wowaka has a lot of mixed kind of music with his albums. Sometimes it jpop, sometimes mathrock sometimes electronic sometimes its shoegazey sometimes its all those things at once. His most famouse album Unhappy Refrain is pretty good, but also not nearly my favorite.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v36KMdiWHao

His two albums before that (his first is pretty terrible because he had no idea what he was doing with the vocaloid program so i'd skip it) are pretty great, and really nice. Theyre shoegazey at times even with some nice jpop mixed in. If you like shoegaze(especially mikgazer) definitely check out this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl8sPBzRi0Y
Here's seven girls discord
https://mega.nz/#F!4JBUhLga!VAApRAN2SQD42FcWv-Ke6w
and world0123456789
https://mega.nz/#F!NJpznTAC!afkF2kBNbQk6DZqjL73HnA
His non-vocaloid stuff is also pretty good and extremely energetic mathrock. The band is called Hitorie and their last ep had really shoegazey moments so check that out (its all in the archive) Here's a sample
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7zBXSyKjQA

Moff P is another good shoegazey vocaloid artist that was featured on mikgazer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgqn2TuE5gw

If you like shoegaze I definitely recomend checking any of these out. I think vocaloid sounds really good with it.
>>
>>61076062
Yeah. I like wowaka too, but I allways listen to thier instrumental versions.

I like this album quite a bit, it's especially appropriate for wintertime too. Akiko Yano is pretty comfy too going off of the two albums I have by her. Think she's married to Ryuichi Sakamoto, who's also of course worth listening to as this thread has already pointed out.
