[Partner Song] Sing two different songs at the same time! Children's songs & latest hits (1–10)
Urashima Taro × The Tortoise and the Hare
Aren’t “Urashima Tarō” and “The Tortoise and the Hare” children’s songs with strong storytelling? Both hide lessons within them, and when you listen again as an adult, they have a different flavor.
Each song is enjoyable on its own, but if you want to expand your repertoire, try singing the two at the same time for extra fun! Since their melodies have a similar feel, they might be easy to get mixed up.
It may be easier to sing if you keep the story-driven lyrics in mind and let them ride on the melody.
Tanabata-sama × Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Recommended songs for Tanabata events include “Tanabata-sama” and “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Both have simple melodic lines, making them easy for young children to sing.
These two songs are also great as a partner song to sing simultaneously.
Despite their simple melodies, the similar ranges and lyrics make it very easy to be led astray by the other part! They’re perfect not only for children but also as brain training for seniors, so give it a try.
They’re also recommended as performances for Tanabata or summer events.
London Bridge × Mary Had a Little Lamb
“London Bridge” and “Mary Had a Little Lamb” share the same chord progression, so when you sing them together, they blend well and sound beautiful! They’re also a classic pair for partner songs, so why not give it a try? Neither song is very long, making them great for a quick sing-along.
They’re also perfect for kindergarten and nursery school activities, as well as brain-training for seniors—sure to liven things up.
The simple, repetitive rhythm makes them easy to practice, too! This combination is highly recommended for beginners to partner songs.

Gurenge × SenbonzakuraLiSA × Kurousa-P
These two songs are huge hits at karaoke.
“Gurenge,” with its restrained A-melody, pre-chorus break, and explosive, crowd-pleasing chorus, is outstanding for pumping up the room! As for “Senbonzakura,” it’s no exaggeration to call it a monumental masterpiece beloved by every Vocaloid producer—so influential it can’t be contained within the Vocaloid world and has been covered by dozens of artists.
Sing these songs together, and there’s no way the energy won’t soar.
Perform them at a school festival or a party, and the audience is sure to be blown away!
Bling-Bang-Bang-Born × OtonokeCreepy Nuts × Creepy Nuts
Creepy Nuts’ “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” and “Otonoke.” Both are tracks with high-speed rap that pack a real punch.
They’re upbeat and rhythmic, making them a perfect match as partner songs.
The key is to sing smoothly and keep a tight tempo! Each song is challenging even on its own, so practice them thoroughly and make sure you can handle each one before trying them together.
Also, be careful not to get distracted by your partner’s part and lose your momentum!
Desert of the Moon × Red Shoes
How about singing Tsuki no Sabaku (The Desert Moon) and Akai Kutsu (Red Shoes) as partner songs—two Japanese children’s songs renowned for their vivid, beautiful imagery? For Tsuki no Sabaku, imagine camels slowly crossing a desert and sing gently and unhurriedly with a slightly wistful tone.
For Akai Kutsu, try a smooth, speech-like delivery.
When performing the two together, be careful not to let the tempo lag from being overly cautious, and enjoy the beautiful harmonies woven by these classic Japanese melodies.
Donguri Korokoro × Yuuyake Koyake
Both are children’s songs that have been loved since the Taisho era and are still sung today, especially by kids! At first glance, you might think that because “Donguri Korokoro” is rhythmic, it wouldn’t fit well with the beautiful melody of “Yuuyake Koyake.” But both are designed so the lyrics fit within a 4/4 beat, so when you combine them, they line up perfectly! It’s kind of mysterious, isn’t it? This is just my personal opinion, but when sung simultaneously, the more relaxed rhythm of “Yuuyake Koyake” might be easier to get pulled off by.
I think it will go well if you practice by clapping your hands or using a metronome!
