Tori Amos used to do it in some of her songs where she. Would. Very. Clearly. Enunciate. The. Words.

Yeah. Good callm I would add Kate Bush and Björk. Of course, the music is completely different that this. But since there is not such a genre, you will have to work through single songs
and see what suits your special taste. Maybe try Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights for starters…?

No comparison intended I was merely commenting that I don’t think that the style of singing doesn’t belong to a single genre of music. Instead I think it’s just a stylistic choice of the singer or just because that particular composition requires the punchy ending of the singing phrases.
It reminds me of some of Ai Otsuka’s earlier stuff though, particularly さくらんぼ and 桃の花びら.

Just like what the others said, it’s not a genre and more like a stylistic choice. An example of one is with FFX’s Suteki da Ne:
You’ll notice that instead of merely singing the word kaze, she sang it as ka-a-ze.
Then there is an Okinawan style of singing:
If you want to delve into traditional styled Japanese music rabbit hole search for “Enka” on Youtube.
