[Duet Harmony Songs] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize (61–70)
The Day Love Was BornFujitani Miwako, Ouchi Yoshiaki
This was Miwako Fujitani’s debut single as a singer, and her vocals have a very fresh quality that makes it quite interesting.
Ouchi’s singing, which seems to support Fujitani as she was still inexperienced, also adds a nice touch.
It’s obvious from the first listen that the song was likely designed to target the karaoke duet market: both the male and female parts are easy to catch, making it one of the best choices for casual harmonizing and duet fun at karaoke.
Be sure to sing both parts gently and softly.
Some people may find the high notes in the male part tough, so please pay close attention to the key setting.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
This is the 21st single by the Japanese folk duo Yuzu, released in July 2004.
It was chosen as the official theme song for NHK’s Athens Olympics broadcasts.
The song has also been used in several commercials since then, so many of you have probably heard it.
It’s a beautiful track that showcases Yuzu’s exquisite harmony work.
As for those harmonies, the arrangement is essentially adding a part a fifth above the main vocal line, so I think it shouldn’t be too difficult for the average person to reproduce when singing at karaoke, and so on.
If you’re careful not to let the timing between the two singers slip, even harmonizing in octaves can make it sound quite nice!
budKobukuro
Kobukuro’s “Tsubomi” is also quite a masterpiece, so it’s a song I’d love for you to sing whether solo or as a duo.
Since Kobukuro are a duo, the vocal range is fairly wide at A#2–A#4, and Kuroda’s part is quite low, so if you’re singing with two people, taking Kuroda’s part might be a good idea! By the way, when I sang this song I had a male partner; I left all the main melody to him and stuck to the harmony! The harmonies in this song are beautiful, so if you have a partner, definitely try tackling the harmonies too! Overall, try singing it with a calm vibe so it doesn’t become too forceful.
somedayyuzu
This is the fourth single by the Japanese folk duo Yuzu, released in January 1999.
As you’d expect from Yuzu, who are known for their beautiful two-part harmonies, it’s an excellent, comfortable mid-tempo song where you can hear very pretty harmonies right from the beginning.
The arrangement basically adds a chorus part a fifth above the main vocal melody.
The chorus line is relatively easy to sing and easy to pick out, too.
Listen closely to the original, learn each part well, and then try singing it.
That said, the chorus part often goes into a fairly high range, so you might want to be careful with the key you choose.
Producing soft, high notes without interfering with the lead vocal is surprisingly difficult when you actually try it.
What We Got ~A Miracle Is You~King&Prince
King & Prince’s “What We Got ~Kiseki wa Kimi to~” with Mickey Mouse dancing is so cute, isn’t it? It seems this song is part of a project for Mickey’s 100th anniversary! Listening to the whole track, the actual harmonies only appear midway through the B-melody, while the chorus is in unison.
The chorus repeats the same phrase and is very easy to follow, so I think it’s great to add your own harmonies! Singing in unison is fun, but adding harmonies here and there changes the vibe in a fun way.
For the record, I would sing an upper harmony on the parts of the chorus that are in Japanese! Try different approaches and find what feels right for you!
mild daysHitsuji Bungaku
Hitsujibungaku is a three-piece female band, and it seems that vocalist Moeka Shiozuka mainly writes the lyrics and composes.
The new song “mild days” also features beautifully tight harmonies! What seems like the B section might actually be the chorus, but from there she sings an octave higher, layering softly, and the atmosphere shifts all at once.
She also sings upper harmonies while taking the line an octave up, so at first you might not notice and end up singing the whole thing an octave higher.
But if you practice carefully while listening closely to the vocals, you’ll pick up the knack quickly! The song is also on the shorter side at about three minutes, and the repeating melody makes it easy to memorize.
Prayer of LightKobukuro
It’s Kobukuro’s 32nd single, released in October 2020.
It was also chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “DIVER: Special Infiltration Unit.” It’s a very dramatic rock ballad.
Adding color to that dramatic feel are the duo’s excellent vocals and choral work.
The harmony pattern is very simple—an upper harmony over the main melody in the chorus—but that simplicity works extremely effectively to enhance the song’s drama.
As a chorus arrangement, the harmonies aren’t particularly difficult, so I encourage all of you reading this to give it a try.
For the high part, be careful not to let your voice flip.
