What genre is this? Do any other artists sound similar?

I recent found this jpop group (roundtable / nino) with a really interesting mix of blues/jazz + jpop in some of their songs. A lot of their music is stereotypical anime-ish j-pop, but a couple of their songs sound really nice to me

its hard for me to describe the sound, so here are some examples:
YouTube - Round Table feat. Nino - Where Is Love
YouTube - Round Table feat. Nino - Stay With Me

do you guys happen to know any other artists that have a similar sound? preferrably english speaking... but I guess more jpop would work too

Sounds like smooth jazz pop /acid jazz lite.

Try something like Incognito.
+ YouTube Video


Great album

More old R&B would be like loose ends.

Jade nailed it. It's Acid Jazz fused together with hip-hop but this is more j-pop. It's been getting quite big in Japan for some reason or other compared to any other place in the world. Try out some of these guys. I would say they all rip off Nujabes so there really isn't much of diversity in sound, but good music either way.

YouTube - Nujabes - Reflection eternal (Unofficial/Fanvideo)
YouTube - Uyama Hiroto - Walk In The Sunset
YouTube - Nomak - Sanctuary
YouTube - DJ Okawari - Bluebird Story (feat. Jumelles)

I know it sounds more hip-hop based as opposed to modern R&B but I find it quite enjoyable.
