i am learning the japanese language and to help me along i want to listen to japanese music (with japanese vocals)

any suggestions?

Well, I like Japanese music myself. The only japanese song that comes to mind is this song "Who's Theme" by Minmi. It's from Samurai Champloo, a japanese anime. It's one of my favorite animes.

Uverworld, l'arc an ciel, Miyavi, Yui, Arashi, An Cafe, Gackt...
and all the songs from anime...XD

It would be better if you mention what style of music you're looking for.

X Japan, Asian Kung Fu Generation, KOTOKO, Orange Range, B'z, etc.

What she said. Though I could do without Miyavi.

Also Qyot's suggestions.

Luna Sea maybe?
