[Harmony Songs to Sing as a Duet] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize (71–80)
Love isKawamura Ryuuichi
This was Ryuichi Kawamura’s fourth single, released on October 15, 1997.
It’s a slow ballad with a very beautiful melody.
Mr.
Kawamura’s distinctive vocal style is striking, but if you listen without being swayed by that, you’ll notice the vocal melody itself is extremely simple and beautiful.
The harmony parts aren’t arranged in a complex way either, so I think it’s great material for enjoying harmonizing at karaoke.
The chorus is what’s called “ji-hamo,” where the chorus sings the same lyrics as the lead vocal, so when singing at karaoke, the key to making it sound good is to sync your breathing perfectly with the lead singer and keep your timing tight.
The harmony melody isn’t difficult at all, so definitely give it a try!
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.
presentJITTERIN’JINN
This was Jitterin’ Jinn’s second single, released on February 14, 1990.
Speaking of Jitterin’ Jinn, they were one of the representative bands of the so-called beat-punk genre, which was at the center of the band boom in the ’90s.
Many of their songs feature very straightforward, easy-to-grasp melodies and catchy lyrics, and “Present” is one of those hits.
Starting from the A-melodic section of the second chorus, a male vocal “ji-hamo” (syllable-by-syllable harmony) comes in.
In the original, the male chorus part is a lower harmony, but if you’re singing this at karaoke, since it’s a male-female harmony song, I think having men and women sing in unison can still make it sound “authentic.” Enjoy!

The continuation of this EarthKobukuro
This is Kobukuro’s 9th digital-only single, released in July 2022.
Incidentally, as a CD single it is their 34th, released in October of the same year.
It was reportedly created as the official theme song for the Osaka-Kansai Expo to be held in 2025.
While Kobukuro are well known for their harmony work, this song features a vocal arrangement designed to stand on its own with a large-group unison performance.
So by all means, enjoy singing it together with all your friends on the spot.
In sections like the A-melody where harmonies appear, the parts are written to harmonize a third above the main melody—give that a try as well.
First KO victoryshiina ringo to nocchi
The song “Hatsu KO Kachi” is a collaboration between Ringo Sheena and Nocchi from Perfume.
While Nocchi’s vocals in Perfume are typically centered around techno, this work—thanks in part to the collaboration with Ringo Sheena—carries a somewhat Showa-era kayōkyoku and jazz-like atmosphere.
It’s also a piece that’s very easy to harmonize with.
Not only are the harmonies straightforward, but the vocal lines themselves lean toward Showa kayōkyoku, so the melody is kept simple throughout.
With many sustained phrases, it’s a track that makes it easy to enjoy the pleasant feeling of singing in harmony.
twofold forgettingKobukuro
Kobukuro’s 33rd single, released on July 7, 2021.
By the way, the title is pronounced “Ryōbō.” Since their debut, Kobukuro—a duo of Shunsuke Kuroda and Kentarō Kobuchi—has been highly praised for their harmony work, and that well-regarded harmonization is alive and well in this song, letting you enjoy beautifully crafted chorus parts.
Because they’re known for their choral work, some people might hesitate to try harmonizing this song at karaoke, but the chorus arrangement isn’t actually that complicated, so there’s nothing to fear! Definitely give it a try.
Just be careful not to make your vocals too edgy or forceful, as that could spoil the song’s charm.
Aim to sing as gently and softly as possible.
March of the LivingShiina Ringo to AI
The song “March of the Living” by Sheena Ringo and AI.
It’s based on jazz but features a somewhat irregular structure, with a feel reminiscent of Afro-Cuban music.
The vocal line, rich in semitones, may sound unfamiliar, but since it stays within the low-mid to high-mid range, it isn’t difficult to produce.
The harmony is clearly divided into two parts, making it relatively easy to practice.
Because there are many off-beat accents, be sure to sing with a strong sense of groove.
