Male-male duets (41–50)
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!
SanctuaryDa-iCE
While Da-iCE’s songs are often thought of less in terms of harmonies and more as the two vocalists taking turns singing, this track, Sanctuary, is unusual in that it features choruses and harmonizing, giving it a choral feel.
That’s because it’s a co-written piece with Yuzu’s Kitagawa, and they put particular emphasis on the harmony sections.
Starting from the pre-chorus, there’s call-and-response, and the chorus builds with more harmonies, creating excitement.
Since the two vocalists—and the whole group—sing together, the harmonies are very pleasant to listen to.
In particular, the transition from the call-and-response into the harmonies in the chorus feels fantastic when it locks in, so it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser at live shows or in karaoke!
nostalgiaHIDE-HIDE
HIDE×HIDE is a duo whose one-of-a-kind sound, created with shakuhachi and chūzao shamisen, has earned high acclaim both in Japan and abroad.
The album’s title track “nostalgia,” released in 2009, conjures a modern atmosphere even as it weaves an oriental melody through the timbre of traditional Japanese instruments.
The ensemble evokes a sense of exoticism that, true to its title, inspires a nostalgic mood.
Though it is an instrumental piece, its harmonies are captivating—an emotional number.
Love isn’t fashionableOkamura Yasuyuki with Koide Yusuke
This is a message song that sounds the alarm against the trend of treating romance like a fashion accessory.
Set to a groovy sound that blends funk and rock, it carefully portrays a shy, hesitant kind of love.
Crafted from Yasuyuki Okamura’s groovy sound and Yusuke Koide’s delicate lyrics, the single was released in April 2014 and was also used as the theme song for the variety show “Kubo Mine Hyada Kojirase Night.” It appears on the album “Kōfuku” (Happiness) and has been highly praised by music critics.
It’s a perfect track for those who are awkward in love or uncomfortable following the crowd, offering empathy and encouraging a sincere approach to romance.
PLACEBO + Yojiro NodaYonezu Kenshi
This is a work by Kenshi Yonezu featuring Yojiro Noda, the vocalist of RADWIMPS.
Although it’s a duet by two male vocalists, there isn’t much harmonizing; the main focus is on solo parts for each singer with just a bit of call-and-response.
So it’s perfect for those who want to duet but aren’t confident with harmonies! The song itself is stylish and upbeat, reminiscent of Western pop, so if two men perform this track together, it’s sure to energize the crowd!
Tonight is Boogie BackOzawa Kenji feat. Suchadarapaa
High-energy, fast-paced songs are great for getting the crowd going, but don’t you think mellow tracks that create a mature vibe are wonderful too? That’s why I’d like to recommend “Konya wa Boogie Back.” It’s a classic everyone knows.
The song is performed by Kenji Ozawa together with the three members of the hip-hop group Scha Dara Parr.
Because of that, if one person tries to handle the rap parts that are sung by two people, you might find yourself a bit short of breath.
I hope you’ll try splitting the parts smartly and give it a shot.
How Many BoogieFuma no KTR × SKRYU × WAZGOGG
It might be a bit challenging, but if you like hip-hop, I recommend “How Many Boogie.” It’s a track by two up-and-coming rappers energizing Japan’s battle scene, Fuma no KTR and SKRYU, together with WAZGOGG, a leading trackmaker from Akita, and it became a nationwide hit through TikTok.
The delivery is somewhat fast and the flow a bit complex, so being used to rap helps, but overall it’s a groovy, easy-to-vibe song.
There aren’t any harmonies either, so definitely give it a try and sing along.
