[Harmony Songs for Duets] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize With (21–30)
Love’s Melody and Rainy SkiesAAA
AAA’s 38th single, released in September 2013.
It’s a fairly beautiful, medium-slow tempo song, but there’s no way to recreate the original harmonies exactly in karaoke.
The chorus parts seem to be crafted with somewhat complex processing, like pitch-editing techniques.
That said, the harmony itself works by simply adding a part a third above the main melody, so if you have as many people as possible sing to add thickness, you should be able to enjoy it.
Even having everyone sing in unison can make this a song where you can appreciate the richness of the combined voices.
WINDING ROADAyaka × Kobukuro
This is the first single by Ayaka x Kobukuro, released in February 2007.
The song was reportedly born after Ayaka and Kobukuro—who were on the same record label—appeared on the same music program.
Now, if you’re thinking of singing this at karaoke: since both Kobukuro and Ayaka are highly skilled and the chorus arrangement is rich with R&B elements, casually harmonizing on the spot might be a bit tough.
It’s a three-part harmony, so picking it out from the track can be fairly challenging, too.
It’s a selection for more advanced singers, but if you’re confident in your vocals, by all means try harmonizing and have fun with it!
366 daysShimizu Shota ft. Nakasone Izumi (HY)
This is Shota Shimizu’s 14th single, released in September 2012.
It’s a collaboration with Izumi Nakasone, resulting in a track that showcases lovely mixed male–female choral work.
The blend of their voices is excellent, and I think Shimizu’s naturally high, somewhat androgynous—even boyish—tone contributes a great deal to that match.
The chorus arrangement is a relatively straightforward two-part harmony, so if you listen carefully to the karaoke guide melody and thoroughly learn each part, harmonizing and singing together shouldn’t be too difficult.
It should also sound beautiful as a harmony between two female voices, so please give it a try.
＝ (feat. YO_CO)BAK
Released in June 2022, this song is performed as a duet by BAK and YO_CO.
It beautifully showcases their call-and-response and overlapping vocals.
Since both singers primarily use head voice, it’s perfect for those who want to sing head-voice songs.
Because the range is on the higher side, be careful not to strain your throat.
When practicing, try singing with “h”-sounds to naturally release breath; this will make it easier to sing.
A particularly recommended method is to sing all the lyrics using “hi.” The “hi” sound makes humming easier and resonates in the head.
Start by pronouncing it lightly so that it resonates in your head rather than your throat.
Your breath will flow more naturally, and producing head voice will become easier.
My Gift to YouCHEMISTRY
This is the male vocal duo CHEMISTRY’s 7th single, a limited-edition release of 100,000 copies from December 2002.
The fact that they could set the limit at 100,000 copies really shows CHEMISTRY’s star power, and it also evokes the era at the time of release, so different from today when music doesn’t sell as easily.
As a song, it’s a slow ballad with a beautiful male vocal melody, and even as a karaoke pick, I think it’s very easy to sing.
The harmony part might be a bit hard to catch in the first chorus since the harmony is below the lead, but in the last chorus it switches to an upper harmony that blends very nicely.
When you nail that section, it sounds super cool! It’s a very appealing track for a male duo, so definitely practice it and make it your own!
Goodbye, my beloved.Hana＊Hana
A single by the female duo Hana*Hana, released in September 2008.
Many cover versions by various artists have been released since, so it’s likely a song many people have heard.
It’s a beautiful melody that works perfectly even when a woman sings it solo at karaoke, but if you can recreate the original duo arrangement, it will be even more fun.
There are many so-called lower harmony parts—singing below the main chorus line—especially in the hook, so it might be a bit difficult to pick them out by ear.
However, the melody itself isn’t hard to sing, so I hope you’ll work at it, master it, and enjoy it.
AM11:00HY
A track from HY’s second album “Street Story,” released in April 2003, by a mixed Okinawan band with three men and one woman.
It consistently ranks near the top on karaoke and ringtone charts, and it was used as an in-show track in the NHK morning drama series “Jun to Ai.” With its upbeat vocals and rhythm, it’s a very pleasant song to listen to, and the dual male-female vocals make each part easy to hear.
It’s interesting that the lower harmony is sung against the female lead.
Be careful not to fall behind the beat during the rap section.
