[Definitive Guide] A new duet by male and female vocalists. A great pick for karaoke, too.

Generic LoveKlang Ruler

Klang Ruler – Generic Love (Official Music Video)

Centered around yonkey, who is also active across the board as a producer and trackmaker, Klang Ruler is a five-member rock band that made their major debut in 2021.

Their 6th digital single, “Generic Love,” draws you into its world from the very start with a floating, strings-featured intro.

The melody, enriched by male–female twin vocals, has a depth that makes it especially satisfying to sing at karaoke.

With its relaxed tempo and relatively modest pitch variation, it’s a modern pop tune that even those who aren’t confident at karaoke can sing calmly.

Prologue feat. AimerShota Shimizu

Shota Shimizu “Prologue feat. Aimer” MV

This is a duet song by Shota Shimizu and Aimer that portrays someone who keeps thinking about the person they love without ever confessing their feelings.

The fear of speaking up and holding back is something anyone who’s experienced unrequited love can relate to.

The world may be full of romances that end at the “prologue.” But to break free from that, the only way is to act on your feelings.

Will it end with your love kept hidden, or with you telling them? As you listen to their gentle voices, why not think about how to end a love without regrets?

Aliens and a Tropical NightCody Lee (Li)

Cody・Lee (Li) – Alien and Tropical Night (Music Video)

Twin-vocal band Cody・Lee (Li), featuring Hibiki Takahashi and Rino Ozaki, delivers in “Aliens and Tropical Nights” a song that depicts a one-summer story of a man and a woman who carry the bittersweet awareness that “these happy days will end someday.” Their overlapping voices sound as if the two are looking back together on those joyful times.

Beneath the words “We had so much fun back then,” there’s a hidden, aching thought: “Is this happiness about to end?”—and it tightens your chest.

It may even make some listeners recall conversations with an old lover and slip into a sentimental mood.

Parallel Lines – Eve × suis from Yorushika MV

“Parallel Lines” depicts the unrequited feelings of a man and a woman who stay close yet never intersect.

With Eve’s warm, enveloping vocals and suis’s simple, charming voice, the frustration of caring for each other but being unable to become lovers is beautifully conveyed.

When someone becomes too familiar, perhaps it’s easy to miss the moment to say something special.

Still, that lingering haze in your heart is proof that you’re not satisfied with keeping things as they are.

Like the ending of this song, why not steel yourself and take the leap to share your feelings?

You know what,Are-kun & 'Yuika'

You know. / Are-kun & “Yuika” [MV]

A duet song for men and women that you’ll want to remember! It might not be very familiar to some of you, but it’s a cute song, so definitely try learning it! In this track, Are-kun sings the main part, and the harmonies are mostly done by Yuika.

There are call-and-response sections and unison parts too, so I think it’s really fun to sing! One thing to note: Are-kun’s part doesn’t change much in range, but Yuika’s part gets busy—she jumps an octave higher in the chorus and also goes lower at times.

Switching back and forth between head voice and chest voice might be tough to memorize at first, but don’t get discouraged—keep at it!

PlanetaryPenthouse

Penthouse – Planetary［Official Audio］

With Shintaro Namioka and Maho Oshima as a male–female twin-vocal band, this is a super groovy, cool track that blends R&B, city pop/soul, and jazz elements.

If you try to harmonize on Maho’s parts, it can be pretty tough unless your breathing and timing match theirs perfectly, so I recommend listening repeatedly and practicing along! Especially from the second verse on, there are lots of overlapping lines and harmonies.

The live footage makes it easy to understand, so be sure to watch it and study!

Singer-songwriters yama and Tatsuya Kitani are both at the forefront of the J-POP scene.

Their collaborative single Akogare no Mama ni was chosen as the image song for Hyundai’s KONA.

The ensemble opens with brisk, choppy guitar and an urban vibe, giving it a pop feel that makes your heart dance just by listening.

It’s a refreshing, fast-paced pop tune whose melody—where their distinct voices blend exquisitely—stirs the heart.
