What are some good, preferably English, websites for discovering new and popular Japanese music?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$By the way, I want to share this song from SMAP entitled Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana ( One and only flower in the world ). This song became popular in Japan for many years that until now, it is still sang by teenagers and oldies alike. Lyrics and translation after the video:

Hanaya no misesaki ni naranda
Ironna hana wo miteita
Hito sorezore konomi wa aru kedo
Doremo minna kirei dane
Kono naka de dare ga ichiban da nante
Arasou koto mo shinai de
Baketsu no naka hokorashige ni
Chanto mune wo hatteiru
Sore na noni bokura ringen wa
Doushite kou mo kurabeta garu?
Hitori hitori chigau noni sono naka de
Ichiban ni naritagaru?
Sousa bokura wa
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
Hitori hitori chigau dame wo motsu
Sono hana wo sakaseru koto dake ni
Isshou kenmei ni nareba ii
Komatta youni warai nagara
Zutto mayotteru hito ga iru
Ganbatte saita hana wa dore mo
Kirei dakara shikata nai ne
Yatto mise kara dete kita
Sono hito ga kakaete ita
Iro toridori no hanataba to
Ureshi souna yokogao
Namae mo shira nakatta keredo
Ano hi boku ni egao wo kureta
Dare mo kizukanai youna basho de
Saiteta hana no youni
Sousa bokura wa
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
Hitori hitori chigau dame wo motsu
Sono hana o sakaseru koto dake ni
Isshou kenmei ni nareba ii
Chiisai hana ya ooki na hana
Hitotsu toshite onaji mono wa nai kara
(N 1)Number one ni nara nakutemo ii
Moto moto tokubetsu na Only one

English translation:
Lined in the flower shop display
I saw all sorts of flower
Each and everyone has their favorite kinds
but all of them are pretty.
Without competing to see
which was the best among them,
proudly inside the bucket, they were stretching and showing their shape
As opposed to that, we humans
why do we have to compare ourselves to one another?
Each and every one of us is different,
why do we want to be number one?
That’s right we are…A flower unlike any other in the world
Each and everyone of us carries a different seed
Just so we can make that
bloom into a flower, it’s okay if we do our best
There are people whose smiles are strained
because they are completely lost
But it doesn’t matter because
every flower that did everything they could to bloom, are beautiful
When at last someone came out of the flower shop
Carrying a colorful bouquet of flower
His face looked so happy
I never knew his name but
that day he made me smile
We too are like flowers that bloom in places where no one pays any attention.
That’s right, we are each…
A flower unlike any other in the world
and each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on trying to make that flower bloom.
Small flowers and big flowers,
Each one is unique, there no two alike
You don’t have to be No. 1
From the start, you were the special only one
HOWEVER, if you're looking for news regarding Japanese music artists than I suggest this site: http://www.tokyofied.com/
It is a blog that publishes news about Jpop, Jrock, etc!

They cover the latest news on Jpop and Jrock artists/group/band. So it is likely you will find new Japanese music by visiting them. PLUS, they update on a daily basis, how cool is that?
