Lovely karaoke song

A roundup of duet songs sung by men—classic tracks renowned for their compelling harmonies and call-and-response.

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 Duet (21–30)

As you areCentipede & Rhyme Man

Mukasetsu & Inman – As You Are (Prod. @thekontrabandz)
As you are 百足 & 韻マン

This song was created by two rappers, Mukade and Inman, who met at the 15th High School RAP Championship.

Set over a laid-back track that incorporates acoustic elements, it straightforwardly expresses feelings about being true to yourself and to who you are.

The theme is like a rapper’s own way of expressing love, and the calm sound helps convey an unadorned sincerity.

Another highlight is the contrast between Mukade’s and Inman’s styles and vocal qualities—their different personalities overlap in a way that brings out the best in each other.

If you’re doing a male-male duet, songs by male duos are easier to sing and a great choice.

Speaking of Japanese male duos, Kobukuro’s “Sakura” would surely rank among the top five; it’s well-known and a recommended song you can perform even in gatherings with mixed generations.

Released in 2005 and becoming a long-running hit, this track is also one of Kobukuro’s signature songs that you hear every year as a “sakura song.” It’s a perfect karaoke pick for farewell and welcome parties during cherry blossom season.

I think FLOW is also famous for having twin vocals with lots of harmonies.

They do a lot of anime songs—are there any you all know? In this song, COLORS, KEIGO basically sings the main melody and KOHSHI sings the harmony parts.

From the B-melody they sing in unison an octave apart, then from the chorus there’s a lower harmony—going back and forth like that feels great to sing and really makes the song build up! This applies to any song, but if the lower harmony ends up louder than the main vocal, the balance gets thrown off and it sounds odd, so I recommend singing lightly with the image of supporting the lead.

It’s one of FLOW’s staple tracks, so definitely give it a try!

Soraru and Rib, a duo formed by the vocalists Soraru and Rib.

From covers to original songs, they deliver a wide range of music, and their 2023 release “Yuumagadoki” is one of them.

It was also chosen as the opening theme for the anime “Migi & Dali,” and the song’s cool worldview perfectly matches the emotions of the twin boys in the story.

It’s recommended to split the main melody and harmonies when singing along to the driving band arrangement.

Try performing this passionate yet somewhat wistful rock number as a male duet.

Despite their unique band name, Hentai Shinshi Club is popular for their unpretentious lyrics and touching melodies.

“YOKAZE” is a track defined by the charming back-and-forth between soothing vocals and laid-back rap.

It’s also highly recommended as a duet for two men.

If you’re good at singing, take the vocal part; if you’re confident in rapping, take the rap—one of the strengths of this song is that you can play to your strengths.

The contrast between voices also matters, so if someone with a lower voice handles the rap, it might make the vocals stand out even more.

budKobukuro

Kobukuro’s 14th single, known for its beautiful harmonies and gentle lyrical world.

Chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad,” its wistful melody and acoustic guitar tones offer a soothing touch.

Despite its relaxed tempo, the melody features many leaps, so if you’re singing it as a duet, both singers will need to practice with careful attention to pitch.

The chorus harmonies are a particular highlight, so sing them through with confidence and captivate the friends you came with.

King & Prince’s “What We Got ~Kiseki wa Kimi to~” with Mickey Mouse dancing is so cute, isn’t it? It seems this song is part of a project for Mickey’s 100th anniversary! Listening to the whole track, the actual harmonies only appear midway through the B-melody, while the chorus is in unison.

The chorus repeats the same phrase and is very easy to follow, so I think it’s great to add your own harmonies! Singing in unison is fun, but adding harmonies here and there changes the vibe in a fun way.

For the record, I would sing an upper harmony on the parts of the chorus that are in Japanese! Try different approaches and find what feels right for you!
