I love Ringo's voice but I don't think you'll find someone like her on Japanese Idol.

I understood what you were trying to say... But I wanted some examples, and I'm not talking about Ringo.
There are a lot of singer-songwriters that have good voice... Laura Marling or St. Vincent, just for a few examples. So when you say that you "never expect good voices" from singer-songwriters, makes me feel you're either forgeting some artists or you simply don't know what you're talking about :x
