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!

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.

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!

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!

Yuzu, the male duo who celebrated the 25th anniversary of their debut in 2022 and even had a special drama aired depicting their 25 years of struggles and successes, released the single “Harukaze” in 2007—a fan favorite.

It’s perfect for spring, the season of meetings and farewells, and its bittersweetness really hits home.

The string melodies heighten the poignancy, making it a moving song that, when performed at a farewell party or similar occasion, is sure to linger in everyone’s hearts.

When it comes to cool duet songs that hype up karaoke with same-gender pairs, “Amazing Love” is the one.

Released in 2022 by Kinki Kids, an idol duo active since the 1990s, it features finely divided vocal parts that give each singer a clear moment to shine.

Its airy sound and bright synth tones are perfect for an upbeat karaoke session.

Deliver a cool performance at the chorus where the vocals overlap.

It’s also a great song to practice with friends or coworkers as a way to grow closer.

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.

“Miracle Earth,” the ultra-lavish collaboration between Keisuke Kuwata and Mr.Children, is a song that powerfully encouraged Japan in 1995, a year filled with dark news.

It became a huge topic because it was sung by the two lead vocalists of the two best-selling bands at the time—Southern All Stars and Mr.Children.

And the track is irresistibly funky and cool! It’s a song I’d love to see a boss and their subordinate harmonize on together at the office!

A heartfelt message depicting their relationship is sung with honest directness.
