[Duet Harmony Songs] Songs That Feel Great to Harmonize To (81–90)
Never Gonna Miss YouRie Yoshizawa & Toshiki Kadomatsu
This is a duet by Rie Yoshizawa—who debuted as a singer in Toshiki Kadomatsu’s singer-produce project Vocaland—and producer Toshiki Kadomatsu, released in November 1997.
I remember reading in an interview with Kadomatsu at the time that he put it out as his answer to the then-trend of male-female duets.
Unlike the hit duets of that era, though, it features quite sophisticated choral arrangements, which feels very characteristic of Kadomatsu.
Because of that, it’s a bit of a high hurdle to casually harmonize and sing at karaoke, but that also makes it a song worth taking on.
It’s a selection for advanced singers, but by all means, give it a try!
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE
This is the third major-label single by the all-girl rock band ZONE, released in August 2001.
It was used as the theme song for the TBS daytime drama series Kids War 3: “Don’t Mess With Me,” starring Mao Inoue, and became a big hit.
The poignant melody, lyrics, and arrangement leave a strong impression.
As for the harmony parts, there’s a very well-known harmony line in the B section; many people who sang this song back when it was a hit likely tried that part.
The harmonies aren’t particularly complex, making it one of the best choices for practicing listening to and singing harmony.
Give it a try.
High-Purity RomanceKinKi Kids
This single was released in 2022, the year KinKi Kids celebrated the 25th anniversary of their debut.
Its sound is centered on piano, with brass and strings layered in, creating a gently soothing atmosphere.
It feels like a warm, encouraging song that cherishes human connections while teaching us to keep moving forward.
The arrangement showcases each of their voices, and at key moments like the chorus they progress in harmony, making their mutually enhancing vocals a beautiful highlight.
Green Greenyuzu
A download-only single by Yuzu released in July 2019.
Yuzu has been highly praised for their beautiful harmony work since their debut, and that acclaimed harmonization is very much alive in this song as well.
You can enjoy gorgeous choruses throughout the entire track.
At first listen, the backing vocals may sound quite complex because multiple chorus tracks are layered over the lead vocal, but the arrangement basically works if you add an upper harmony to the main melody.
So try it out using karaoke guide-melody features.
It would also sound great as an acoustic guitar duet sung by two male vocalists!
telepathy; tacit understanding (literally: 'heart-to-heart communication')19
Released in July 2000.
A track from 19’s (Juke’s) second album, “Mugendai.” Despite not being released as a single, it ranked second in a fan survey conducted after their breakup, making it a popular song.
Since it’s by the folk duo 19, the original is arranged with a relatively simple acoustic sound, and I don’t think it’s too hard to pick out the harmonies.
You can enjoy it as a straightforward two-part harmony piece.
Compared to songs from the Showa era, there are sections with slightly more complex harmony arrangements, but give it your best shot and try the challenge!
If tomorrow comesJUJU with JAY’ED
If Tomorrow Comes was released on April 29, 2009 as JUJU’s 10th single.
The dual vocals with JAY’ED are very striking.
In the harmony parts, the compatibility of their voices really stands out.
Both are highly skilled singers, so in that sense the song might be a bit challenging to sing at karaoke.
However, the choral arrangement is quite simple, and since it’s a male–female duet, both parts are relatively easy to pick out.
Please give it a try and cover it.
The male part relies mainly on falsetto and mixed voice, so aim for a delivery that doesn’t become overly intense throughout and doesn’t interfere with the female part.

Into the DreamYosui Inoue
It’s Inoue Yosui’s single released on March 1, 1973… a masterpiece so famous it hardly needs an introduction! It’s been covered and remade by many artists, starting with Yuki Saito.
As for the harmonies in this song, there’s basically a single harmony line against the main vocal, making it very easy to listen to and sing—perfect for casually harmonizing at karaoke.
Unlike modern songs with complex arrangements and sound design, tracks from the ’70s are refreshingly straightforward in this regard.
Enjoy!
