Not really "j-rock" in the usual sense (X Japan, L'arc en ciel, miyavi, etc) but the following falls under the rock genre:
If you like j-rock with a heavy pop influence, Ayumi Hamasaki might be relevant to your interests. She lives and breathes pop, rock and ballads and blending the three.
Microphone
Marionette
talkin' 2 myself
While YUI is pretty known for FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood's Again, most of her jrock is soft rock like these:
GLORIA
Like YUI, Nana Kitade is also famous for an FMA song, Kesenai Tsumi, many of her songs is actually less pop-py and more of a dark mood. These two represent her pretty well. Although her saucey voice is still the same.
HOLD HEART
Antoinette Blue
Girls Dead Monster - although Angel Beats! ended, LiSA is still releasing album under the name Girls Dead Monsters. Their latest album was "Keep the Beats!" and they're due for another album in December.
Crow Song
Some other decent anime OP j-rock
HIGH and MIGHT COLOR - Ichirin no Hana
Riyu Kosaka - Danzai no Hana Guilty Sky
YUI - Rolling Star
There's also doujin/touhou music that does jrock (these are mixed with pop though):
Silver Forest - Keep the Faith
SOUND HOLIC - Perfect Cherry Blossom
