WINDING ROADAyaka × Kobukuro
In the late 2000s to early 2010s, when it came to mixed-gender harmony songs, “WINDING ROAD” was the go-to classic.
This track is a collaboration between the pop duo Kobukuro—who enjoyed immense mainstream support at the time—and singer-songwriter Ayaka.
It’s an upbeat piece with a groove that feels somewhat Western-influenced.
That said, as a harmony song, it’s relatively easy, with clearly separated parts, so beginners in vocals should definitely give it a try.
Song of PointillismMrs. GREEN APPLE (feat. Inoue Sonoko)
The song “Tenbyō no Uta,” on which Mrs.
GREEN APPLE invited Sonoko Inoue as a featuring artist.
As a harmony piece performed by two singers with high voices, this work features exceptionally high vocal ranges for both the lead melody and the harmony parts.
It’s rare to find a track that foregrounds falsetto harmonies to this extent, making it a distinctive piece in that sense.
Beyond just the pitch, the two artists’ expressive abilities are also compelling, and the vocals produced by their beautiful harmonies are breathtaking.
If you want to sing gorgeous harmonies at karaoke, this is definitely a song you should try at least once.
FlowerORANGE RANGE
ORANGE RANGE has recently broken through on social media, led by TikTok.
Many younger listeners may be curious to discover more of their songs.
Among ORANGE RANGE’s tracks, one I especially recommend for harmonizing is Hana.
While it isn’t a song built around harmonies, if you listen closely, you’ll hear low-pitched backing vocals in the chorus.
Since many of the harmonies are an octave lower, the difficulty level is quite easy.
Even those who aren’t confident singers will find it easy to harmonize with, so be sure to check it out.
somedayyuzu
For those born in the Heisei era, many probably think of Yuzu when it comes to songs with harmonies.
Yuzu has released many harmony-heavy tracks, but the one I especially recommend for its clarity and beauty is Itsuka.
It features a pale, wintry dusk-like melody, and the chorus is characterized by falsetto harmonies.
While the pitch is on the higher side, the tempo is slow, making it a good choice even for those not yet used to singing harmonies.
A Lump of LoveDOMOTO
A masterpiece by KinKi Kids composed by Tatsuro Yamashita, “Ai no Katamari.” The artist name has changed to DOMOTO, but the song’s popularity remains strong, and it continues to be a karaoke favorite.
Its greatest charm lies in the duo’s harmonies: while the vocals from the KinKi Kids era were excellent, as DOMOTO—now with even greater musical prowess—the vocals feature exquisitely beautiful harmonies, with the two smooth voices marrying together to perfection.
Wherever you areONE OK ROCK
Wherever you are, a signature ballad by ONE OK ROCK, remains a beloved classic that still enjoys enduring popularity at karaoke and beyond.
It’s a work that fully showcases elements of Western rock ballads, featuring expressions not typically found in standard Japanese pop, which is part of its appeal.
While the song isn’t particularly known as a harmonizing piece, if you listen closely, you’ll hear solid backing vocals in the chorus and the bridge.
Given its emotional nature, adding harmonies can bring out a great deal of beauty in the vocals, so definitely give it a try.
beetle (specifically, a rhinoceros beetle)aiko
Aiko’s biggest hit song “Kabutomushi.” It was released in 1999, but thanks in part to its catchy melody, it remains popular even among younger generations.
Since it’s a solo vocal piece, there are no harmony parts.
However, the vocal line has a relaxed tempo and clearly defined pitch movement, making it perfect for adding harmonies.
If you’d like to create your own harmonies rather than follow existing chorus lines, definitely give this song a try.
