I currently found this band called "We Take Polaroids" found out the singer is very inspired by Japan/Sylvian
https://soundcloud.com/gung-horecordings/sets/we-take-polaroids-new-horizons
and it does kind of have a sense of Japan if they were around now in the electronic scene.
The singer has a previous band called "Burn The Negative"
which if you look at the song titles all have a sort of Japan reference:
Life In Hansa
Here In Tokyo
Camden etc...

anyways not sure if this topic has been covered but wanted to share..Im new here so if anybody knows of any other Japan/Sylvian inspired music please let me know...I need more
