[Definitive Edition] New duet songs (male and female vocals). Great picks for karaoke (11–20)
Prologue feat. AimerShimizu Shota
This is a duet song by Shota Shimizu and Aimer that portrays someone who keeps thinking about the person they love without ever confessing their feelings.
The fear of speaking up and holding back is something anyone who’s experienced unrequited love can relate to.
The world may be full of romances that end at the “prologue.” But to break free from that, the only way is to act on your feelings.
Will it end with your love kept hidden, or with you telling them? As you listen to their gentle voices, why not think about how to end a love without regrets?
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?
＝ (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.
Laughing and falling downHanbaato Hanbaato
Humbert Humbert is a folk duo loved by a wide audience for the warm harmony they weave as a married couple and their unadorned worldview.
This song, written as the theme for NHK’s serial TV drama “Bakebake,” airing from September 2025, comes with a memorable backstory: the duo repeatedly read the memoirs of Setsu Koizumi, the model for the story, and composed the piece in one go as if becoming her.
The lyrics gently embrace both the joys and pains of life, revealing new nuances with every listen.
With plainspoken words and a familiar, comforting melody that sinks straight into the heart, it’s a folk number you’ll want to savor again and again.
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.
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!

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.
