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 (31–40)

BAD HOP / Kawasaki Drift (Official Video)

It might not strike you as a duet, but if two guys are trading verses, hip-hop is now a perfectly orthodox choice.

In that vein, I recommend “Kawasaki Drift.” It’s a hit track that hardcore heads know for sure, and even non-heads will probably recognize.

Fueled by the fiery vibes of artists who rose up from their hometown of Kawasaki, this song doesn’t feature particularly complex flows, so it should be easy to perform as a duet.

This song was created by singer-songwriter Ayumu Imazu with guest vocalist Sota Hanamura, who is also active as a member of Da-iCE.

Chosen as the theme song for the professional baseball broadcast “S☆1 BASEBALL,” it has a refreshing atmosphere that fits sports perfectly.

Both artists have vocals that combine gentleness and freshness, and the layering of their voices further emphasizes the breezy mood.

You can also feel the respect for Da-iCE as a dance and vocal group—the dance-evoking sense of rhythm and the crispness of the lyrics help accentuate the fun, upbeat vibe.

If you want to sing a trending song, we recommend BON.

It’s the new track from Number_i, one of the most talked-about Japanese idol groups right now, and it’s making waves on the charts and on TikTok.

Since the song is primarily hip-hop, it doesn’t feature the harmonies you often hear in duets.

The rap parts aren’t particularly difficult, but it’s best to sing them with a well-shaped, solid tone.

The vocal sections are very simple, and the hook’s group chant is easy to sing.

Definitely check it out.

A rock tune released in 2002, “Kyōretsu Romance” (Fierce Romance), put out by the unit Mitsukiyo formed by Kiyoshiro Imawano and Mitsuhiro Oikawa.

A hardcore rock musician, Kiyoshiro Imawano, and ‘Prince’ Micchi…? It’s kinda hard to picture the two of them singing together, right? (lol) In this one, Micchi’s look and singing style are in full-on rock mode, so definitely give it a listen.

It’s a cool track, and since it’s slow-tempo, it’s easy to sing.

Guys, please sing it with style!

Bewitching Hour NightBikkeburanka VS Okazaki Taiiku

Bewitching Hour NightBikkeburanka VS Okazaki Taiiku

A super hype, positive, and fun duet number, “Bakashi HOUR NIGHT.” This song is a 2020 collaboration between Vickeblanka and Okazaki Taiiku.

It’s packed with playful tricks that make it delightful, and the clever wordplay will make you go “aha,” prompting you to really dive into the lyrics.

It feels a bit like a fox-and-raccoon-dog grudge match in miniature, yet somehow it also hits as a moving friendship song.

It’s a track that will definitely get the crowd going at karaoke.

Male-male duets (41–50)

threadSuda Masaki × Ishizaki Hyui

Ito is a classic by Miyuki Nakajima that has been covered by many artists.

This collaborative version by Masaki Suda and Huwie Ishizaki was included on Suda’s 2022 album COLLAGE.

Suda co-starred with Nana Komatsu in the film Ito, which was inspired by the song and features it as the ending theme.

The lyrics portray the warmth of encounters and human connections.

While originally a solo piece by Miyuki Nakajima, it also makes for a powerful duet when sung with another vocalist.

Just… I want to see youEXILE

EXILE / I Just... Want to See You - Short version -
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.
