[Harmony Songs for Duets] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize With (91–100)
Never Gonna Miss YouYoshizawa Rie & Kadomatsu Toshiki
This is a duet by Rie Yoshizawa—who debuted as a singer in Toshiki Kadomatsu’s singer-produce project Vocaland—and producer Toshiki Kadomatsu, released in November 1997.
I remember reading in an interview with Kadomatsu at the time that he put it out as his answer to the then-trend of male-female duets.
Unlike the hit duets of that era, though, it features quite sophisticated choral arrangements, which feels very characteristic of Kadomatsu.
Because of that, it’s a bit of a high hurdle to casually harmonize and sing at karaoke, but that also makes it a song worth taking on.
It’s a selection for advanced singers, but by all means, give it a try!
Two People’s Love IslandIshikawa Yuko & Chage
A collaboration single by Yuko Ishikawa and Chage from CHAGE and ASKA, released in April 1984.
It was also used in a JAL commercial.
In this song—in fact, in male-female twin vocal songs in general—the feel is less “lead plus backing vocals” and more of a dual lead vocal by a man and a woman.
So when you sing it at karaoke, you don’t really need to focus on a distinct “chorus part.” With male-female harmonies, the vocal timbres are completely different, which actually makes both parts easier to pick out.
That said, this song has some fairly intricate chorus arrangements in places—starting with the B-melody—so if you’re going to sing it, it’s a good idea to check with the karaoke guide melody function beforehand.
If it’s still too difficult, when a man and a woman sing it together you can both just sing the main vocal in unison; since your voice qualities are totally different, it surprisingly tends to work out okay (haha).
Dream-Forsaken Street CornerArisu
This is a song by the folk group Alice.
It conveys a calm atmosphere centered on acoustic guitar.
You can fully enjoy the group’s hallmark powerful harmonies by Shinji Tanimura and Takao Horiuchi in this track as well.
The lyrics, which seem to depict the emotions surrounding a departure, are striking—along with a sense of loneliness, you can also feel the resolve to set out.
The powerful voices of each singer overlap to create a remarkable harmony.
Rather than clashing to assert themselves, they seem to respect one another and take a stance of mutually enhancing each other.
A good-night kiss ~Good Night My Love~DOUBLE & Shimizu Shota
A work by the popular R&B singer DOUBLE’s TAKAKO and Shota Shimizu, who has performance experience at the Apollo Theater, “Good Night My Love.” It’s an R&B-style ballad released in 2009 that helped energize the R&B scene at the time.
While the song falls into the R&B genre, which demands vocal technique, it doesn’t feature a large amount of advanced techniques like vocal runs.
In addition, the harmony parts follow simple vocal lines, making it a recommended pick.
Together foreverKobukuro
“Eien ni Tomo ni,” a song that’s also beloved as a wedding classic.
Released in 2004 as a double A-side single alongside “Million Films,” this track was written for the wedding of Kentaro Kobuchi’s friend.
Its simple, easy-to-remember melody makes it very singable—even those who aren’t confident at karaoke can give it a try! The harmony line is clear and not difficult, so it could be great to practice as a duo and perform as entertainment at a wedding.
