I will come out swinging saying I am a basic bitch when it comes to this but I can't not say Ayumi Hamasaki on this. M hits the spine everytime I hear it. Then Step You and Real Me are just so damn good. And Marionette and Green. The woman has an incredible discography with a lot of just sheer-amazing songs.

Honorable mentions:
Nami Tamaki
YUI
Kaela Kimura
Maaya Sakamoto
Mikuni Shimokawa

Big fan of Miwa Yoshida from Dreams Come True, but she's the lead singer of a band so not exactly what I would call a "diva."

She definitely was one of the most i portant voices in Jpop so Id say she counts

Most Jpop singers are in a band anyway. A lot of Japanese music puts a focus on the band as well as the singer

Kumi Koda for me. I hear many songs from the 2000 era for Ayumi Hamasaki (UNITE!, independent, July 1st), same for Aya Matsuura (LOVE Namidairo, Yeah! Meccha Holiday)
I haven't found an Ayumi Hamasaki song called Marionette, I thought you referring to the BOWY song.

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

When I was in Japan in 2023, I came across a Koda Kumi pop up. My friend IRL loves her too and I bought him a shirt from the pop up.

As for Marionette, it's a great video:

I'd have said Tomiko Van but I see her less as a diva. I guess Kaela isn't too much of a diva type either though. I appreciate DAI. Raven is still my favorite of theirs. Good stuff.

All I know is the Pon Pon Pon girl (Kyary Pamyu Pamyu), so I guess I'll say her.
