[Duet Harmony Songs] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize (11–20)
Heart UpAyaka & Miura Daichi
This was Ayaka and Daichi Miura’s first collaborative single, released on February 14, 2018.
It was also used as the song for Tokyo Metro’s “Find my Tokyo.” campaign commercials.
The track features beautiful harmonies delivered by male and female dual vocals.
With duets like this, each part is relatively easy to pick out, so I think it’s fairly approachable to try harmonizing at karaoke and have fun with it.
Both artists are exceptionally skilled singers, so in that sense the bar might be a bit high for performing this song at karaoke—but give it a shot.
If you can sing it solidly, even just doing the main melody in unison will work well and be enjoyable.
DADDY! DADDY! DO! feat. Airi SuzukiSuzuki Masayuki
The classic song “DADDY! DADDY! DO! feat.
Airi Suzuki” by Masayuki Suzuki and former ℃-ute member Airi Suzuki.
As an unusual collaboration, it garnered a lot of attention across various media, including THE FIRST TAKE.
The piece centers on J-pop infused with the flavor of 1980s kayōkyoku.
As a result, both the lead and harmony vocal lines are crafted simply.
It has a slightly funky feel, so being conscious of the groove when singing will make it sound even more impressive.
letterHY
A track included on HY’s third studio album, TRUNK, released on July 14, 2004.
It’s a charming piece with an endearing, poppy melody.
The harmony is basically structured with the female vocal singing an upper harmony over the male lead, and that upper harmony is a simple third above.
This makes it great material for a man and a woman to enjoy harmonizing together at karaoke.
Please enjoy singing the harmonies comfortably.
Azusa No. 2karyūdō
This is a signature song by a male duo from the Showa era.
I love folk songs from this period! In “Azusa No.
2,” the A and B sections are relatively quiet, but once the chorus hits and the harmonies come in, it suddenly soars! It’s incredibly cool and feels so good to sing! The harmony is basically a third below, but since the main melody’s chorus sits around G4 and has that belting quality, the harmony should come in firmly so it doesn’t get overshadowed.
When entering the chorus, listen carefully to the backing track and breathe together so you both come in at the same time! The unison at the end of the chorus after all that harmonizing is wonderful, too.
It might be a somewhat wistful song, but when the harmonies lock in, it’ll give you goosebumps—so definitely find a partner and give it a try!
Never FictionKanaria
Kanaria is an artist active as both a Vocaloid producer and a VTuber—if you’re familiar with the utaite or Vocaloid scenes, you’ve surely heard the name.
This collaboration with the hugely popular VTuber Suisei Hoshimachi is the track “Never Fiction.” It’s a stylish piece with a slightly downbeat mood and a somewhat wide overall vocal range.
You’ll need to use falsetto, but the harmony parts themselves sit on comfortable scales, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
IllusionMY FIRST STORY × HYDE
A collaboration between these two artists is incredibly extravagant, isn’t it? Actually, I sang this live with a male student, and from a woman’s perspective the key is on the lower side, so it was a bit tough…
But it was really fun to harmonize on top and trade lines back and forth! There’s also a death growl at the very end, so it’s definitely a song I’d love to hear sung by two men! Basically, it’s a song where the two of you alternate between lead and harmony, but there are various ways to harmonize—Hiro often takes the higher harmony and HYDE the lower.
There are parts sung an octave lower as well, so I think it’s best to switch things up and enjoy the different approaches!

broad daylightKing Gnu
It’s a digital-only single by King Gnu released in February 2019.
I haven’t analyzed it in great detail, but it seems like the B-melody and chorus parts use a chorus arrangement that could work as octave-unison lines above and below.
Of course, that alone won’t perfectly reproduce the original, but for karaoke, if everyone sings the lead plus an octave up and an octave down, you can capture the vibe quite well.
It seems like a song where the main vocal—using lots of falsetto and mixed voice—is harder to pull off than the harmonies.
