[2026] A Roundup of Japanese Male-Female Duo Artists

Isn’t it surprisingly hard to think of mixed-gender duos off the top of your head?

With that in mind, we’ve put together a roundup of artists who perform as male-female duos.

In fact, there are many artists that not only music fans but also casual listeners are familiar with.

Some of them are married couples.

The chemistry unique to a male-female duo creates a special atmosphere you can’t find anywhere else.

Alongside hugely popular acts in the J-POP scene, be sure to check out professionals from various genres and units that have a deeply appealing, core fan vibe.

We also introduce artists who became duos partway through their careers, as well as singers who have since disbanded.

Use this as a guide when you’re looking for mixed-gender duos and their songs!
