[Definitive Edition] New duet songs (male and female vocals). Great picks for karaoke (11–20)
parallel linesEve × suis from Yorushika
“Parallel Lines” depicts the unrequited feelings of a man and a woman who stay close yet never intersect.
With Eve’s warm, enveloping vocals and suis’s simple, charming voice, the frustration of caring for each other but being unable to become lovers is beautifully conveyed.
When someone becomes too familiar, perhaps it’s easy to miss the moment to say something special.
Still, that lingering haze in your heart is proof that you’re not satisfied with keeping things as they are.
Like the ending of this song, why not steel yourself and take the leap to share your feelings?
Aliens and a Tropical NightCody Rī (Ri)
Twin-vocal band Cody・Lee (Li), featuring Hibiki Takahashi and Rino Ozaki, delivers in “Aliens and Tropical Nights” a song that depicts a one-summer story of a man and a woman who carry the bittersweet awareness that “these happy days will end someday.” Their overlapping voices sound as if the two are looking back together on those joyful times.
Beneath the words “We had so much fun back then,” there’s a hidden, aching thought: “Is this happiness about to end?”—and it tightens your chest.
It may even make some listeners recall conversations with an old lover and slip into a sentimental mood.
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!
Mirror feat. Kosuke Saitoieiri reo
This is a collaboration between the accomplished singer-songwriter Leo Ieiri and Kosuke Saito of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN.
Released digitally in October 2025, the song was written as the theme for NTV’s Wednesday drama “ESCAPE: It Was Supposed to Be a Kidnapping.” Featuring lyrics that use mirrors as a motif, it portrays the struggle of facing oneself and a world where reality and illusion intersect.
The two voices overlap as if in dialogue, creating profound emotional depth.
It’s a duet that gently supports the hearts of those who keep pursuing their dreams.
＝ (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.
As my longing desiresyama & Kitanitatsuya
Singer-songwriters yama and Tatsuya Kitani are both at the forefront of the J-POP scene.
Their collaborative single Akogare no Mama ni was chosen as the image song for Hyundai’s KONA.
The ensemble opens with brisk, choppy guitar and an urban vibe, giving it a pop feel that makes your heart dance just by listening.
It’s a refreshing, fast-paced pop tune whose melody—where their distinct voices blend exquisitely—stirs the heart.

Don’t Fall Asleep feat. Ikuko Harada (clammbon)YONA YONA WEEKENDERS
A lovely band that embraces the concept of “good music to go with your drinks,” YONA YONA WEEKENDERS released this new work in April 2023.
It’s included on their fifth EP, “into the wind,” out in June, and features Ikuko Harada from clammbon as a guest vocalist.
The lyrics, which depict time spent together, and the sweet atmosphere create a soothing comfort.
It seems perfect as a bedtime song, too.
It’s got that quintessential Yona Yona gentle groove that leaves you dreamy.
Alongside the reassuring band ensemble, a calm, peaceful time flows.
