[Harmony Songs for Duets] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize With (91–100)
Surely somewhereTUBE
This is TUBE’s 28th single, released in August 1998.
It was used in the drama “Sekai de Ichiban Papa ga Suki” and reportedly sold over 400,000 copies.
While TUBE is often associated with songs that evoke images of “summer” and “the sun,” “Itsuka Dokokade” is crafted as a beautiful ballad with a very poignant tone.
As for the harmony parts in this track, starting from the second chorus, a very simple harmony a third above the main vocal is added to the chorus.
The harmony itself isn’t particularly difficult, but the main melody is already quite high for a male vocal song, and the harmony goes even higher.
If the key is challenging, consider lowering the key in karaoke, and be careful not to strain your voice by forcing the high notes.
Green Greenyuzu
A download-only single by Yuzu released in July 2019.
Yuzu has been highly praised for their beautiful harmony work since their debut, and that acclaimed harmonization is very much alive in this song as well.
You can enjoy gorgeous choruses throughout the entire track.
At first listen, the backing vocals may sound quite complex because multiple chorus tracks are layered over the lead vocal, but the arrangement basically works if you add an upper harmony to the main melody.
So try it out using karaoke guide-melody features.
It would also sound great as an acoustic guitar duet sung by two male vocalists!

My Dear EllieSazan Ōrusutāzu
This was Southern All Stars’ third single overall, released in March 1979.
It’s undoubtedly a classic Showa-era pop ballad.
The choral arrangement is highly effective and, I feel, plays a very important role in making this song a masterpiece.
The chorus part itself is quite simple as an arrangement, and since it’s a male-female duet with Kuwata and Hara, it’s very easy to pick out.
Please try recreating it at karaoke and enjoy.
It’s an upper harmony, so be careful with volume and projection so the chorus doesn’t drown out the lead.
telepathy; tacit understanding (literally: ‘heart-to-heart communication’)19
Released in July 2000.
A track from 19’s (Juke’s) second album, “Mugendai.” Despite not being released as a single, it ranked second in a fan survey conducted after their breakup, making it a popular song.
Since it’s by the folk duo 19, the original is arranged with a relatively simple acoustic sound, and I don’t think it’s too hard to pick out the harmonies.
You can enjoy it as a straightforward two-part harmony piece.
Compared to songs from the Showa era, there are sections with slightly more complex harmony arrangements, but give it your best shot and try the challenge!
If tomorrow comesJUJU with JAY’ED
If Tomorrow Comes was released on April 29, 2009 as JUJU’s 10th single.
The dual vocals with JAY’ED are very striking.
In the harmony parts, the compatibility of their voices really stands out.
Both are highly skilled singers, so in that sense the song might be a bit challenging to sing at karaoke.
However, the choral arrangement is quite simple, and since it’s a male–female duet, both parts are relatively easy to pick out.
Please give it a try and cover it.
The male part relies mainly on falsetto and mixed voice, so aim for a delivery that doesn’t become overly intense throughout and doesn’t interfere with the female part.
Dreaming SupermanSaucy Dog
This is a track from “But Really,” the seventh album (fifth major-label release) by the Japanese three-piece rock band Saucy Dog.
The album was released in July 2023.
The song was chosen as the theme for the drama “I’m Curious About What’s in People’s Shopping Baskets.” It’s an uptempo, very simple rock tune, but if you listen closely, the vocal arrangement is quite elaborate.
Because of that, many listeners might feel it’s a bit challenging to harmonize with at karaoke after just one listen.
However, most of the harmonies are likely built by layering parts a perfect fifth above and an octave above the lead vocal, so try approaching it that way.
If someone can also take an octave below the lead, you might get even closer to the sound of the original recording.
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE
This is the third major-label single by the all-girl rock band ZONE, released in August 2001.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS daytime drama series Kids War 3: “Don’t Mess With Me,” starring Mao Inoue, and became a big hit.
The poignant melody, lyrics, and arrangement leave a strong impression.
As for the harmony parts, there’s a very well-known harmony line in the B section; many people who sang this song back when it was a hit likely tried that part.
The harmonies aren’t particularly complex, making it one of the best choices for practicing listening to and singing harmony.
Give it a try.
