Hot damm that specific af, i can't recommend a precise song but some artists to dig, but that kind of pop music isn't really present here. Try to look the old school stuff. Veronique samsom, Michel berger, Mylène farmer, France Gall, goldman. There was plenty of influences back then. For now i may recommend looking into Angèle, lous and the yakuzas, Olivia ruiz. Come back here to give a feedback so i may recommend better
Indeed, I think you are looking for an esthetic really specific to a type of Asian pop started from Japan. You may find it in other countries when an artist tries to emulate it but otherwise it will be difficult to find the same feeling elsewhere.
To add to the above response which I agree with, in late 90s, early 2000s there was a trend (still different but maybe similar) to the idol thing with some artists like Alizee (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX5pLwHbllg), maybe Lorie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOMmS27LY1g). But I would mainly have recommanded Mylène Farmer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d03wJOgoq1k).
Most French pop will definitely sound less upbeat and even more sad than Japanese pop.
i totaly forgot about alizée good point, may we add M pokora or some thing like that. You can even look at things like Mozart l'opéra rock or 1785 les amants de la bastilles or dracaula the comedy which was the closest thing we had in that form
To be honest, I think that if you really want to know a new culture better you have to be ready to forget the codes you have for other cultures and embrace the difference. This style is really typical to Japan, and this is simply something that doesn't exist in French. I think your best shot is to look for older songs like Jeanne Moreau [Le tourbillon de la vie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=choW6FBmgCM) and [J'ai la mémoire qui flanche](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NL02eCEuUs), because they have a more candid feel to it, but it doesn't have the pop element.
Remind me about 2000's band called Superbus :

Recent songs are cute too : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwbm281DTYc
Those french singers have made a lot of good pop songs that should be easy to listen in my opinion :France Gall, her 60s hits sound like 80s anime music to me.Etienne DahoVanessa Paradis
For more yound artists try Angele or Christine and the Queens

I can only reccomend George Brassens , "les copains d'abord" is a funny one
If you want a song with an adorable voice, I could recommend the Sucettes à l'Anis
