If we're talking songs with lyrics:

Vanilla - Gackt

It always makes me wanna dance. XD Gackt is awesome. <3

I also like a few random anime opening/ closing themesongs, like What's Up People? by Maximum The Hormone from Death Note, and Sakura Kiss by Chieco Kawabe from Ouran. :3

Without, it's definitely The Other Promise (Drammatica) by Yoko Shimomura. :3
I am the very model of a scientist salarian,
I've studied species turian, asari, and batarian.

Hm, a few favorite Japanese songs of mine:

Passion- Utada Hikaru
Valenti- BoA
Mahaloha- Yuna Ito

Also anything by Sarina. She's not a singer, but a violinist and is very good. Violin music+pop music= win for me. :P

If talking about anime openings, I like Hero's Comeback by +nobodyknows also and Lucky Star's opening Motteke! Se-ra-fuku.

You're linking Nicovideo here? XD Wouldn't it be more user-friendly to put up the youtube instead? XD

Anyways, as far as the mashups go though, my current on is Nanairo no Nico Nico Douga, which is the latest of Shimo's mashup songs.

Actual songs, I've been liking Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari from Bakamonogatari lately, which would be Supercell's debut single (i'm also a sucker for Nicovideo artists)

I don't listen to any Japanese songs, but I sometimes watch animes that have Japanese songs in them. I like the one that plays at the end of Wolf's Rain. I think it's called "Gravity".

It would be, and I looked for a YT video of that particular version (no vocals, base audio). I couldn't find one, though I did find some interesting versions on YT.

Another of Graceful's threads intended to pick the musical sides of our brains? Sure!

Hi-Five by Superfly (Go on, watch it. Try to tell me it's not awesome.)
Week! by Do As Infinity
Uchuu hikoushi no uta by Sakamoto Maaya (clip is a shorter version), and also Universe, Ame ga furu, heck, I better stop before I list everything. The song Jolene mentioned is also by her.

Oh. I do hear both the English and Japanese version of it, but I thought the name would be the same on both. My bad. XD; *goes edit*

Dakishimetai - Jungle Smile (Ending to Super Gals! Kotobuki Ran)
Anything by Akiko Shikata. She is absoluely amazing, especially her work on Uminako No Naku Koro Ni, and the Ar Tonelico games. Ar Tonelico was where I first heard her voice.
I also like anything by GACKT and Susumu Hirasawa
