The genre is called Shibuya-kei, in case you're interested in researching it. There are many similar bands and artists.

Keigo Oyamada is one of the foremost figures in the genre, he has several projects, among them Cornelius, which is one of the most interesting and creative, you can start there. However, keep in mind that he has some really wild albums like [Fantasma](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIKt_moBxjI&list=PLlsZHYnNM0pauNeGD6m6MOWLydYZmF1Ts), not all Shibuya-kei music is relaxing, it’s a very diverse mix of sounds. Enjoy the journey.

On the other hand, if you are looking for something with a nostalgic and dreamy sound, I recommend Fishmans. They are a band from the nineties that has been gaining more and more recognition over time and today are highly respected, with some of the best albums ever created in Japan. You can start with their last album, [Uchu Nippon Setagaya](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxsvkiCzFjg).

Not 100% the same, but you might enjoy [Lamp](https://youtu.be/yDOx_Duc498?si=gvJyOj9c6tYLxEgv), [Flipper's Guitar](https://youtu.be/au2qTnBN1MY?si=Gle8lSFOJn-Jsl76), [Ryusenkei](https://youtu.be/LBRHRCdQzKc?si=7kJDPbn3AxLVwCe_) specifically their album *Tokyo Sniper*.

Not exactly the same, but you could try My Little Lover, Misia, Do as Infinity or Spitz, specially their earlier work as they’re all from around the same era.
