[Harmony Songs for Duets] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize With (41–50)
Glass BoyKinKi Kids
This was KinKi Kids’ debut single, released in July 1997.
I debated whether to include it under the theme of “easy songs to harmonize to,” but in the end I decided it deserved a spot as a song that’s easy to sing with multiple people—and, well, you’ve got to have some Johnny’s content in there, right? (lol)
Some of you may wonder why I hesitated so much.
It’s because, although there are many parts where the two sing together, almost all of them are in unison rather than harmony.
After their debut, they appeared on a certain TV show with THE ALFEE’s Sakazaki, during which they picked up acoustic guitar and discovered the fun of harmonizing.
As a result, they went on to release plenty of songs with proper harmonies—but on this debut track, it’s almost all unison!
That said, even unison can create a unique phase effect due to differences in each singer’s vocal timbre and subtle timing, making the vocals sound thicker and richer.
That’s one of the pleasures of it as well.
So while this pick is a bit of an outlier for the theme, I hope you’ll enjoy it too.
AngelCHEMISTRY
This is CHEMISTRY’s 38th single, released in August 2019.
It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Sorezore no Dangai” (Each Person’s Cliff).
The harmonies are striking, and parts are arranged almost like a duet, making it an ideal song to enjoy singing with multiple people at karaoke.
In the original track, the harmonies sound fairly intricate thanks to recording and processing, but the arrangement is basically built on two-part chorus, so with karaoke guide-melody features or karaoke apps, it should be relatively easy to recreate.
Even setting that aside, it’s a very beautiful ballad—be sure to sing it and have fun.
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!
Love, feat. Kana AdachiKobayashi Tōya
Kobayashi Tōya and Kana Adachi’s song “Koi Nante feat.
Kana Adachi.” The track is crafted as a bright, classic J-pop number reminiscent of the Heisei era.
Because it’s a male-female duet, the vocal range is somewhat wide, but it includes clear harmony parts that make it easy to practice as a duet.
Since the harmonies are mostly sung by the female, if two men perform the duet, the higher-voiced singer should take the female part.
The overall vocal lines are easy, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
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.
poofKing Gnu
A 2020 release by the Japanese rock band King Gnu.
The studio recording features very elaborate vocal sound design, so at first listen it can seem like the song requires highly complex vocal work.
However, when singing it for karaoke and the like, I believe it’s sufficient to sing a unison an octave below the main vocal—meaning the same melody one octave lower—for the song to hold together.
In that sense, it’s a track that relatively anyone can enjoy singing with multiple people, so I hope you have fun with it—just be sure to pay attention to the rhythm.
gardenFuji Kaze
A track from Fujii Kaze’s second album, “LOVE ALL SERVE ALL,” which was released in March 2022.
I felt the production gives the whole song a pleasantly languid, ennui-tinged atmosphere.
While it’s not a piece where the harmonies particularly stand out, I think you can recreate the song’s slightly gospel-like feel just by having a few friends sing it in unison—so give it a try!
