Not strictly J-Pop, but an interesting interview:

The Groove Monday Made: A Legend in the Undertow of Obscurity

As a premier model in the contemporary groove scene who has informed the soul dialect with the global accents of civic cosmopolitanism and worldly savoir faire and the jazz idiom with transgressive definitions on manner and tradition, she has revealed a mural of a muse who concertedly charters earthy soul and funk, classic jazz, and nu jazz hues in a swirl as colorfully cant as a Wassily Kandinsky canvas and concretely confident as a Ogiwara Morie construct. If Monday Michiru is ever a pebble, she is a big one.
