I am having the hardest time trying to find some Japanese pop music without coming across Korean music and then getting completely distracted.

I wanted to get immersed in Japanese by having a lot of music to listen to in Japanese. I'm just finding a lot of Korean music instead (Korean wave, I suppose. Which is fine, the language I want to learn after Japanese is Korean anyway.)

Does anyone know some Japanese pop songs? Or a website all about Japanese music in general? I'm NOT looking for music sung by... Hatsune Miku or whatever. I'm looking for REAL Japanese singers singing. Also, anime songs are okay as long as they don't relate to to JRock in any way. I hate JRock. (Sorry J-Rock lovers, no offense.)

All the Japanese music I have are random anime songs so I can't help song-wise... sweatdrop

For finding new Japanese music I use http://www.jpopasia.com/ . It has a lot of different genres in Japanese. Warning though, don't get involved with the community because they're all weeaboos. xd

You could also try Japanese internet radio, here's a site with a few stations, there's probably a lot more out there though.

Except for Ayumi, all those bands are j-rock (aren't some of those bands visual kei as well?), and OP pointed out she didn't want j-rock. XD
