Upbeat Duet Songs (41–50)
Jenny High RhapsodyJenīhai
Jenny High, formed around Enon Kawatani of Gesu no Kiwami Otome, drew attention for its unconventional lineup, with comedian Kazuya Kojima (Koyabu Kazutoyo) on drums and Kukki! on bass.
Their song “Jenny High Rhapsody” is a uniquely catchy pop tune that’s perfect to sing as a novelty pick at karaoke.
In this track, each instrumental member takes turns on vocals, making it even more exciting when you split parts among a group.
Be sure to try it at your next large-group karaoke session!
Beat de TouhiHama iku
Speaking of duets, the appeal often lies in the layered vocals, but Hamaiku’s “Beat DE Touhi” is characterized more by its beginner-friendly, low-difficulty melody line, making it easy to try even for newcomers.
The way it breezily sings about the negative feeling of “I just want to escape from this reality for now” both resonates with listeners and makes you want to imitate and sing along.
Hamaiku’s songs are fun to sing, so they’re a great recommendation when you’re unsure what to pick at karaoke!
Gather round! Party people!Yabai T-shatsu Yasan
“Gather ’Round! Party People” is an irresistibly high-energy song by the male–female twin-vocal band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan.
Because part of the track is an homage to LMFAO’s “Shots,” when it was re-recorded for their major-label release, they obtained permission from LMFAO and included co-credits for the original song’s writers and composers.
Happy Pre-Wedding SongYabai T-shatsu Yasan
As the title “Happy Wedding Pre-Song” suggests, it’s a feel-good track brimming with happiness, depicting a couple right before their wedding! However, it’s not about the couple’s own feelings; instead, it’s a song where everyone around them runs around trying to push them together and gets all excited on their own (lol).
When you’ve got a not-quite-there-yet couple—mutual feelings but still hesitant—this is the perfect song to sing for them! The lyrics are pretty fast, but it’s such a fun track that it feels great if you can make it through.
It’s guaranteed to hype up any karaoke session!
Happy☆BoogieNakanō Yoshie, Sakai Yū, Shuri
Happy☆Boogie is a collaborative track by Yoshié Nakano, vocalist of EGO-WRAPPIN’, singer-songwriter Yu Sakai, and actor Shuri.
Created as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Boogie Woogie, starring Shuri, the number stands out with its dazzling brass arrangements and ensemble.
The interweaving vocals of the three and the pop melody are enough to lift your spirits just by listening.
It’s a heartwarming pop tune you’ll definitely want to sing as a trio at karaoke.
WON’T BE LONGKouda Kumi/EXILE
A song by female singer Kumi Koda—praised for her powerful vocals and emotional resonance—and the dance & vocal group EXILE, who have secured unwavering popularity with their unrivaled high-level performances.
Since the original number was released by the Bubblegum Brothers in 1990 and became a major hit, it’s widely recognized across generations and always livens up karaoke.
Beyond its catchy melody, the off-beat rhythm is the key to this track, making it a duet song where you’ll want to lean into the groove when singing it at karaoke.

In the world of popular theater, actor Tomio Umezawa—renowned for the beauty of his onnagata roles and even dubbed the “Tamasaburo of downtown”—teams up with Sachiko Kobayashi, known online as the “Final Boss,” whose overwhelming vocal prowess has won fans among younger generations.
This duet song, featured in au’s hit commercial series ‘Santaro,’ became a hot topic for the duo’s perfectly synchronized vocals that hardly seem like a first-time collaboration between two veterans.
