[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?
Canaria feat. Ryoko ShinoharaSuzuki Masayuki
After his work with Rats & Star, singer Masayuki Suzuki has continued to shine on the front lines for many years.
Released in January 2026, Canaria is a beautiful duet featuring Ryoko Shinohara.
Chosen as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama Punch-Drunk Woman: XX Days Until Escape, the track features a heartrending melody by Ikimonogakari’s Yoshiki Mizuno and moving harmonies from the two vocalists.
The lyrics, which depict the feeling of breaking free from the rules that bind you, also resonate—making it a song that gives you courage when you’re ready to take a new step forward.
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.
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!
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.
＝ (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.

Friday’s highPenthouse
A soulful, groovy track that sounds like turning the city’s neon into music.
The harmonies of Namioka and Oshima resonate pleasantly.
Released in January 2024, it was also featured as the theme song for Nissan’s X-TRAIL e-4ORCE commercial.
It vividly captures the exhilaration and sense of freedom on a Friday night, adding a splash of glamour to the start of the weekend.
With Penthouse’s soul-baring vocals, you can’t help but start to sway.
It’s the perfect song for when you want to get hyped to the max, or to enjoy at karaoke with friends or as a couple.
