We’ve gathered everything from classic Showa-era hits to the latest tracks, so enjoy harmonizing with your karaoke buddies or bandmates!

[Duet Harmony Songs] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize To (81–90)

Kokoro Uchuu feat. imase, “Yuika”Nyan chū Ōrusutāzu

“Kokoro-Uchu feat.

imase, Yuika” is a piece with a light yet slightly downbeat vibe that leaves a strong impression.

This track is a collaboration by popular singer-songwriters imase and Yuika.

imase is known for his distinctive falsetto, but in this song he sings the lower harmony.

That makes the harmonies easy even for those who can’t hit high notes.

On the other hand, Yuika’s part is slightly higher, so be sure to set keys that are comfortable for both you and your partner.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

blue skyTHE BLUE HEARTS

This is THE BLUE HEARTS’ eighth single, released on June 21, 1989.

It’s also a re-cut track from their third album, TRAIN-TRAIN.

Many songs by THE BLUE HEARTS feature clear, catchy melodies, making them great for singing along—not just this one.

In terms of harmonizing, this song is structured so that it works simply by adding a straightforward upper harmony to the main melody.

So it’s a perfect piece for anyone who’s hesitated to try harmonizing—give it a shot.

You’ll surely discover how fun harmonizing can be!

This is Cocco’s fourth single, released on October 7, 1998.

The harmony part appears in the chorus, and at first listen the overall sound production makes the arrangement seem very complex.

But if you listen closely, it’s actually a two-part chorus with a lower harmony under the main melody.

If you can pick out and copy the harmony part, it shouldn’t be too difficult to harmonize.

If your goal is simply to recreate the feel of the original track, I think even having two or more people sing the main melody in unison could be quite effective.

Depending on the situation, that might be a fun way to enjoy it too!

Released as a digital-only single by Yuzu on May 25, 2020.

It’s a very refreshing track that feels quintessentially them, with a pleasant, up-tempo acoustic guitar strum.

Yuzu are known for their highly sophisticated harmony work, but the harmonies in this song are arranged mainly around relatively simple upper harmonies against the main melody, making it perfect for enjoying harmonizing at karaoke.

You might find it a bit challenging to pick out the harmony parts, but I hope you’ll give it a try at karaoke and recreate those lovely harmonies.

It could also be fun to enjoy it with just an acoustic guitar in hand instead of karaoke!

Yoshimotozaka46 is a mixed-gender group formed as the third installment of Yasushi Akimoto’s Sakamichi Series, following Nogizaka46 and Keyakizaka46 (now Sakurazaka46).

What sets them apart from the other Sakamichi groups produced by Akimoto is that all members belong to Yoshimoto Kogyo and each is active as a comedian.

The song I’m introducing here is their debut single, released on December 26, 2018.

Since it’s a chorus of 46 members, the harmony parts may be a bit hard to pick out, but the choral arrangement itself is very simple and not at all difficult.

Please listen closely to the original and enjoy singing the harmonies together.

It’s a song you can have fun with even just singing in unison with a large group!
