[2026] Duet songs for two men to sing. A roundup of recommended Japanese songs for karaoke

Do you ever sing with someone when you go to karaoke?

Duet songs in particular have harmonies and call-and-response parts, and when you make it through one, you get an unbeatable feeling of exhilaration!

Generally, “duet” refers to a man and a woman singing together, but in this article, we’ll focus on songs that two men can sing.

We’ve selected plenty of tracks that two men can enjoy singing together, including songs by popular male duos and groups with two male vocalists.

From pieces with beautiful harmonies to songs with catchy back-and-forth exchanges, there’s a wide variety here—use this as a reference when choosing your next karaoke setlist.

Male-male duets (61–70)

SanctuaryDa-iCE

While Da-iCE’s songs are often thought of less in terms of harmonies and more as the two vocalists taking turns singing, this track, Sanctuary, is unusual in that it features choruses and harmonizing, giving it a choral feel.

That’s because it’s a co-written piece with Yuzu’s Kitagawa, and they put particular emphasis on the harmony sections.

Starting from the pre-chorus, there’s call-and-response, and the chorus builds with more harmonies, creating excitement.

Since the two vocalists—and the whole group—sing together, the harmonies are very pleasant to listen to.

In particular, the transition from the call-and-response into the harmonies in the chorus feels fantastic when it locks in, so it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at live shows or in karaoke!

nostalgiaHIDE-HIDE

HIDE×HIDE is a duo whose one-of-a-kind sound, created with shakuhachi and chūzao shamisen, has earned high acclaim both in Japan and abroad.

The album’s title track “nostalgia,” released in 2009, conjures a modern atmosphere even as it weaves an oriental melody through the timbre of traditional Japanese instruments.

The ensemble evokes a sense of exoticism that, true to its title, inspires a nostalgic mood.

Though it is an instrumental piece, its harmonies are captivating—an emotional number.

YC&K

A track by C&K, a male duo consisting of CLIEVY with his super high-tone voice and KEEN with his silky voice.

CLIEVY’s high tones are so demanding that even many women find them challenging! It’s recommended not only for male duets but also for female duets.

If two men are singing, lowering the key is better, but trying the high tones is OK too!
