[Harmony Songs for Duets] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize With (21–30)
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.

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!
ReunionLiSA×Uru
The piece Reunion by LiSA, an anisong singer with overwhelming support from young people, and Uru, known for her lyrical vocals.
The song is crafted as a wistful J-pop number, with an overall calm melody.
Its most singable feature is, above all, the clearly defined parts.
While many songs have harmonies that are hard to distinguish, this one keeps the lead and harmony lines well separated in pitch, so you don’t have to worry about being pulled off by your partner—a common issue with duets.
Blue BenchSasuke
This was Sasuke’s debut single, released in April 2004.
Although it came out on an independent label, its lyrics resonated with many people, and it ultimately became a major hit, selling over 300,000 copies.
Later, in 2008, it was included in music textbooks and became a staple for junior high and high school choir competitions.
Some of you reading this may have sung it at a school event like a choral contest.
Almost the entire song is built on beautiful two-part harmony, and fully reproducing that in performance isn’t exactly easy—but that’s precisely why the sense of accomplishment when you nail the harmonies is so great.
It’s a selection geared a bit more toward advanced singers, but by all means, give it a try!
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!
