Duet love song ballads (11–20)
Because I love you. (feat. Ren)Yuika
This song portrays the sweet, aching frustration of a high school boy and girl who both have feelings for each other but can’t take that first step.
A key point is how their feelings are clearly distinguished through the vocals by Yuika and Ren, making it easy to imagine the story.
The sound, which starts with a quiet piano and acoustic guitar and gradually builds in intensity, is striking, and it overlaps with the growing momentum of the vocals to strongly convey the rise in emotion.
The lyrics list the things they like about the other person, directly expressing how much they think about each other in their daily lives.
Right up to the very end, neither of them takes that step forward, firmly conveying the bittersweet frustration of youth.
I’m about to cry.RADWIMPS feat aimyon
A collaborative track by RADWIMPS and singer-songwriter Aimyon, included on RADWIMPS’ album ANTI ANTI GENERATION.
The collaboration between these two artists—each with a distinct worldview—offers not only a compelling listen but also a satisfying sing.
The beautiful harmonies woven by the two, which convey both poignancy and warmth, are something you should definitely strive to recreate in a duet.
Even more importantly, the call-and-response-like sections will make the song shine even brighter if you can reproduce them with a good balance so that your voices don’t clash.
One More Time… feat. BENIDōji-T
The final song in a trilogy by Dōji-T feat.
YU-A, released in 2011.
Over a piano-driven track, Dōji-T’s slightly idiosyncratic rap delivers dramatic lyrics about the future and the past.
Layered with YU-A’s vocals, the world of the song gains momentum—an inspiring duet number you won’t want to miss.
If tomorrow comesJUJU with JAY’ED
A collaboration track by JAY’ED and JUJU—two Japanese artists whose voices could hold their own on the global stage.
The grand melody of the chorus and the dramatic arrangement leave a strong impression after just one listen.
The high notes are delivered with power, and the subtle harmonies showcase impressive technique.
If you can nail this song, it’s the kind of track that will feel absolutely amazing to sing!
You know what,are-kun &『yuika’}
A heart-fluttering back-and-forth between two people in love, “Anone.” Released in 2022, this is a collaboration track by singer-songwriter Are-kun and Yuika.
It portrays a sweet and slightly bittersweet love story: a boy and a girl who like each other but don’t know how the other feels, each wrestling with their own confusion and what to do.
The lyrics capture the feeling of unrequited love so realistically that anyone—regardless of gender—can relate.
Why not invite your crush and try singing it together at karaoke?
One More Time feat. asmimosao.
This song is by singer-songwriter Mosawo, whose 2020 release “Gyutto” was a huge hit and drew attention from younger audiences.
Featuring on the track is fellow singer-songwriter asmi, who is also popular among the younger generation; her vocals became a hot topic with MAISONdes’ song “Yowanehaki.” The arrangement lets you enjoy the two singers’ gentle tones in call-and-response and harmonies, and it should be fun to sing at karaoke as well.
Duet love song ballads (21–30)
First loveKami wa saikoro o furanai × Ayuni D (BiSH/PEDRO) × n-buna from Yorushika
“Hatsukoi” (First Love) is a collaborative number by Ayuni D from BiSH and n-buna from Yorushika, together with Kami wa Saikoro wo Furanai.
The lyrics were written by Shusaku Yanagida, the vocalist and guitarist of Kami-saikoro, and the composition was handled by n-buna of Yorushika.
The lyrics, which evoke the sweet-and-sour freshness and wistfulness of a first love in summers past, may even bring back memories of your own first love.
Why not create a sweet-and-sour harmony with a friend of the opposite sex, or with someone who wonderfully became your partner from your very first love?
