[Harmony Songs for Duets] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize With (31–40)
cherry blossomKobukuro
Kobukuro’s 12th single, released in November 2005.
When you think of groups with beautiful harmonies, many people probably think of Kobukuro first.
The duo is well known for their two-member choral work, and their harmony parts are often arranged faithfully to the basics—thirds and fifths above the main melody—making their songs ideal practice material for anyone interested in harmonizing and looking to select something for karaoke.
In particular, Sakura is a very easy-to-remember, beautiful song even if you focus only on the main melody, so be sure to practice it and let those beautiful harmonies ring out!
Runaway No.1 draft pickShiina Ringo to Atarashii Gakkou no Leaders
Atarashii Gakko, an idol group gaining popularity for their original musical style that mixes kayōkyoku and hip-hop.
The song they perform together with Ringo Sheena, who is active on the global stage, is Doraichi Dokusō.
This work strongly reflects the essence of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
As a result, it doesn’t have the complex pitch rises and falls common in contemporary songs.
While you do need to pay attention to dynamics, the overall difficulty is relatively low.
The harmonies are clear and well separated, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Connected Universe! feat. imase, asmiNyan chū Ōrusutāzu
The song “Tsunagaru Uchuu! feat.
imase, asmi” by imase and asmi.
Speaking of imase, his funky falsetto really stands out.
This work is a bright and light piece centered on that very falsetto.
While the pitch is high, the overall range isn’t wide.
As a result, if you choose the right key, you can maintain solid pitch control.
The harmony has the female part singing the lower chorus line, making it a perfect piece for a duet between a woman with a lower voice and a man with a higher voice.
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!
Song of LifeManakana
Released in February 2009, this is the fourth single by ManaKana—the twin duo of Mana Mikura and Kana Mikura—who became popular through the NHK serial drama “Futarikko.” Even sung solo, it’s a beautiful ballad for a female vocalist, but if you can harmonize well, its charm and fun will multiply many times over.
Unlike classic Showa-era duets, this song features a slightly more complex choral arrangement, so it may be a bit difficult to accurately pick out each part from the original.
Try studying it with tools like karaoke guide melodies.
When you nail the harmonies, it will surely feel wonderful!
[Harmony Songs for Duets] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize With (41–50)
＝ (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.
LionMay’n feat. Nakajima Ai
The popular song “Lion” from the hit anime Macross Frontier.
It’s a classic performed by anisong singer May’n and voice actress Megumi Nakajima.
If you’re in your 20s or 30s, chances are you’ve heard this track at least once.
One of the easiest points for singing this song is the clarity of the vocal lines.
The main vocal and the harmony are clearly separated, so you won’t have to worry about getting pulled off by your partner’s voice.
The overall vocal line is simple as well, so definitely give it a try.
