Male-Male Duet (21–30)
road; way; path; street; route; Tao (in philosophy)EXILE
Michi, EXILE’s 23rd single released in 2007.
This song is a staple graduation tune and is extremely popular as a choral piece.
EXILE’s vocal prowess and the gentle, mellow atmosphere give it a mature feel.
There aren’t many male duet ballads out there, so it would likely be a hit if you perform it at karaoke.
Given the lyrics, it’s a perfect song for farewells and send-off parties.
flying boatKing Gnu
This is a song I’d love to see sung at same-gender karaoke.
It’s a wild track by King Gnu, a band with two male vocalists, and the blend of their contrasting voices feels great! The song is structured so each vocalist sings different parts, so it might be fun to faithfully split the parts at karaoke too!
Male-male duet (31–40)
Just… I want to see youEXILE
This is a single released by EXILE in 2005.
It’s a ballad without a dance vibe, creating a calm atmosphere that lets the two vocalists’ voices take center stage.
The lyrics are striking for their storytelling, conveying a strong sense of regret as they dwell on a beloved person who can no longer be seen.
The vocals evoke regret and pain, leaving a deep impression, so it’s a song you’ll want to sing with emotion—imagining the story of the track while layering it with your own memories.
Public Humiliation (feat. PUNPEE)Hoshino Gen
If you’re looking to do a duet with a cool vibe, I recommend “Sarashimono (feat.
PUNPEE).” It’s a track by singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino and rapper PUNPEE.
Overall, it has an R&B-like finish, but the chorus makes effective use of Gen Hoshino’s signature high vibrato.
The mood shifts dramatically between parts, so think about which section suits you better.
Also, another key point of this song is that it demands solid flow skills.
Tokyo ConcertoMiyamoto Hiroji × Sakurai Kazutoshi
A miraculous collaborative track by two of Japan’s leading vocalists.
The distinctive voices of Hiroji Miyamoto and Kazutoshi Sakurai delicately portray the diverse emotions of people living in the city of Tokyo.
The story woven from the city’s impersonal scenery and the warmth of humanity gently embraces loneliness, transience, and hope.
Produced by Takeshi Kobayashi in September 2021, the song is included on the album “Jūōmujin.” Their first joint performance on NHK’s ‘SONGS’ also generated major buzz.
This is a recommended track for anyone who can relate to down-to-earth stories—people chasing dreams and love amid the urban hustle, or those striving to overcome setbacks.
PlanetaryPenthouse
With Shintaro Namioka and Maho Oshima as a male–female twin-vocal band, this is a super groovy, cool track that blends R&B, city pop/soul, and jazz elements.
If you try to harmonize on Maho’s parts, it can be pretty tough unless your breathing and timing match theirs perfectly, so I recommend listening repeatedly and practicing along! Especially from the second verse on, there are lots of overlapping lines and harmonies.
The live footage makes it easy to understand, so be sure to watch it and study!
A three-penny novelKing Gnu
King Gnu’s sixth single “Sanmon Shosetsu/Senryo Yakusha,” released in December 2020.
The song “Sanmon Shosetsu” was also used as the theme song for the drama “35-sai no Shoujo” starring Kou Shibasaki.
Its profoundly weighty melody and piercing lyrics create an indescribable world.
Since King Gnu has twin vocals, it’s perfect as a duet song, but many of their tracks are very challenging as karaoke numbers.
That’s exactly why it looks so cool if you can sing them—so it’s all about practice!
