Male-male duet (31–40)
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!
My WayDef Tech
When it comes to male duos known for beautiful harmonies, many people probably think of Def Tech, famous for their reggae-influenced tracks.
When they appeared on THE FIRST TAKE in 2020, they performed “My Way.” This song compares each person’s life to a road.
Everyone knows that famous chorus, right? In addition to the harmonies, the frequent back-and-forth in English is another hallmark.
First, make sure to carefully check the pronunciation and meaning.
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.
YOKAZEHentai Shinshi Kurabu
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.
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.
Male-male duets (41–50)
What We Got ~A Miracle Is You~King&Prince
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!
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.
