You know what,are-kun &『yuika’}
A duet song for men and women that you’ll want to remember! It might not be very familiar to some of you, but it’s a cute song, so definitely try learning it! In this track, Are-kun sings the main part, and the harmonies are mostly done by Yuika.
There are call-and-response sections and unison parts too, so I think it’s really fun to sing! One thing to note: Are-kun’s part doesn’t change much in range, but Yuika’s part gets busy—she jumps an octave higher in the chorus and also goes lower at times.
Switching back and forth between head voice and chest voice might be tough to memorize at first, but don’t get discouraged—keep at it!
Blue amberback number
This back number song gives you such an indescribable feeling, doesn’t it? I think Iyori Shimizu is a genius at creating a sense of heartbreak.
The harmonies in this track are mostly in the chorus.
It’s basically an upper harmony, but the way the ends of phrases drop an octave and other clever choices in the harmonizing really amplify the bittersweet vibe.
In the final chorus, there’s a key change and the pitch goes up, so I think it’s good to sing a bit louder in falsetto so you don’t get overshadowed by the lead vocal.
A lot of people sing back number, so be sure to add these harmonies to your repertoire!

GraduationKobukuro
This is Kobukuro’s 31st single, released in March 2020.
It’s a beautiful ballad that’s very characteristic of Kobukuro.
Even if you sing it solo, I think it requires a fair amount of vocal ability, but this time I’d like to focus on the harmonies.
When you look at the harmonies, it’s basically two parts: the main and the harmony, and the harmony part is mostly the higher harmony.
That makes the melody line relatively clear and easy to pick up.
The most important thing to watch out for when singing this kind of higher harmony is to make sure the chorus doesn’t stand out more than the main vocal.
In that sense, the person handling the harmony part might be better off not having too bright a vocal timbre.
In any case, I think this song falls into the category of being easy to harmonize, so definitely give it a try.
When you nail it cleanly, it sounds really cool!
Harmony at Summer’s EndInoue Yosui & Anzen Chitai
This is a collaboration song by singer-songwriter Yosui Inoue and the rock band Anzen Chitai.
The lyrics were written by Yosui Inoue, and the composition was done by Koji Tamaki, the vocalist of Anzen Chitai.
Centered around a gentle, piano-led sound, the arrangement gradually unfolds into something grand and moving.
The lyrics, which cherish the memories the two build together, convey their feelings about the collaboration while also delivering a universal message.
The layering of their distinctive voices and the powerful harmonies are striking, making the mutual respect for each other’s vocals a key highlight of the track.
main streetShiina Ringo & Tōtasu Matsumoto
A song by Ringo Sheena and Toraji “Tortoise” Matsumoto of the rock band Ulfuls.
It was released exclusively as a digital-download single in April 2017.
The big band jazz arrangement, reminiscent of a Broadway musical, is particularly striking.
It may be a fairly advanced song to harmonize cleanly at karaoke, but try using features like guide melodies to learn each part well and give it a shot.
Of course, you can also just enjoy it as a simple male-female duet!
Maplesupittsu
This is Spitz’s 19th single, released in July 1998.
In addition to being used as the opening theme for TBS’s COUNT DOWN TV, it secured tie-ins with several dramas.
A few years ago, it also made headlines when Moka Kamishiraishi sang it in a commercial.
Musically, it’s a very simple slow ballad, but the so-called “ji-harmo” (a harmony that sings the same lyrics as the lead in the chorus) is placed very effectively.
The harmony is a “lower harmony,” where the chorus sings a third below the lead.
While the technical difficulty of singing it is not particularly high, I think it’s crucial to match the timing precisely with the lead.
So when you perform it, be sure the two singers stay perfectly in sync.
Embrace the presentNOA
This song was created by NOA, the duo unit of Atsuko Sendo and Eisaku Yoshida, as the theme for the drama ‘Tetteteki ni Ai wa…’.
YOSHIKI, also known for his work with X JAPAN, handled production and composition.
Since it’s a duet by the two leads of the drama, it invites listeners to imagine their relationship within the story.
Beginning with alternating vocal lines and developing into a harmonized duet toward the end, the structure evokes the sense of the two growing closer.
