Male-male duet (81–90)
GO!!!FLOW
Especially recommended for anime-loving guys is FLOW’s “GO!!!.” Released in 2004, it was used as the opening theme for the hugely popular anime Naruto.
FLOW already had fans in Japan and abroad and was very active even during their indie days, but this song really ignited their popularity.
Duetting on a heartfelt ballad is nice, but it’s also a lot of fun to duet on a hype track like this one, so definitely give it a try with a close friend!
VenusTakkī & Tsubasa
When it comes to signature songs by the duo Takki & Tsubasa, formed by Hideaki Takizawa and Tsubasa Imai, this track is the one! Centered on passionate love, it features a catchy melody and rhythmic beat.
The lyrics weave in exotic and dreamlike elements, compellingly portraying the intensity and complexity of romance.
Released in January 2006, the song debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a major hit.
It’s a perfect choice for a male-male duet to liven up a karaoke session.
The choreography is memorable too, making it a great pick for those who want to enjoy a dance performance!
I’m your hero.After the Rain
Unlike the heroes on TV, this song is filled with down-to-earth charm.
Its warm lyrics, which stand by those who’ve been doing their best on their own and cry with them in sad times, resonate deeply.
After the Rain’s soothing harmonies further enhance the song’s lyrical world.
This track is the title song of the album “I’m Your Hero,” released in October 2023, and serves as the crowning piece of their third full-length album—their first in five years.
The delicate vocals and powerful melodies woven by Soraru and Mafumafu remind us of the beauty of having someone who can be there for your heart through music.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to on sleepless nights or when you feel like you might break.
love somebodyOda Yūji / Makishi Purīsuto
The song “love somebody,” released in 1997, was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Bayside Shakedown.” Maxi Priest was a globally popular artist and a leading figure in the reggae music scene at the time, so his collaboration with Yuji Oda, who starred in the drama, became a hot topic.
encoreHey! Say! JUMP
This song really brings out the best in the group! With lots of unison and harmonies, it’s fun both to sing and to listen to.
Idol groups don’t usually have a strong image of using harmonies, but lately everyone’s vocal skills have been improving, so instead of just unison, there are members who handle harmonies too, which makes it more enjoyable to listen to! The harmonies in this song mostly move a third above, so they’re easy to understand and sing.
Since it’s a group song, I think it would be fun to split the parts among your favorite members and sing it that way!
GET BACKyuzu
Speaking of Yuzu, it’s all about Iwasawa’s beautiful high harmonies on top and Kitagawa’s steady lower harmonies, right? Everyone’s probably thought at least once, “I want to try harmonizing to a Yuzu song!” Yuzu’s harmonies are relatively easy to pick out, so they’re satisfying to listen to and make a great entry point to try.
In GET BACK, Kitagawa comes in with the lower part right from the start—it sounds so cool! There are also call-and-response sections unique to the duo, and in the chorus they switch between unison and harmony, making it a really fun song to sing as a pair! Lower harmonies can be hard to hear and tricky at first, but try practicing with resources like YouTube.
Male-male duet (91–100)
HEARTKing&Prince
As the theme song for the TV drama “Falling for an Heir Is Just Too Hard,” starring Ren Nagase, King & Prince crafted a splendid love song set for release in March 2025.
Its gentle, uplifting sound and the refined choreography by dancer MONA create a heartwarming atmosphere.
The melody hints at the refreshing arrival of spring, and the lyrics, sparkling with swoon-worthy expressions, fully showcase the charm of King & Prince.
While aligning with the drama’s story, this song marks a new frontier made possible precisely by the duo of Ren Nagase and Kaito Takahashi.
It’s recommended not only for idol fans but also for anyone who wants to enjoy a pure love story.
