Love ForeverMiliyah Kato × Shota Shimizu86rank/position

Miliyah Kato × Shota Shimizu “Love Forever”

Love Forever is the ultimate collaboration track by Miliyah Kato and Shota Shimizu! Don’t you feel filled with happiness when you hear their gentle, soft voices? The lyrics are heartbreaking, about losing someone important, but it’s a duet you can listen to over and over without getting tired of.

It’s great for a male-female duo of course, but also recommended for two girls to sing together! The back-and-forth between the two and their pleasant harmonies are the highlights, so try singing with those parts in mind.

DAOKO × Yasuyuki Okamura “Step Up LOVE” MUSIC VIDEO

Here’s a recommendation for those who want to sing an adult duet: “STEP-UP LOVE,” released in 2017.

It’s a funky, cool dance tune born from the collaboration between rapper DAOKO—known for songs like “Uchiage Hanabi”—and singer-songwriter Yasuyuki Okamura, celebrated for his distinctive style in tracks like “Kahlua Milk.” Irresistibly catchy and danceable without being overly sultry, it just won’t let you stop! Their back-and-forth is so cool you’ll definitely want to imitate it.

How about a little escapism with this slightly offbeat pick?

wowaka "World's End Dancehall" feat. Hatsune Miku & Megurine Luka

This song sung by Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka astonishingly surpassed 100,000 views in just 34 hours after being posted, earning a place in the VOCALOID Hall of Fame.

The high-speed melody is quite difficult to sing at karaoke, but please try passing the baton between two people.

Too Much in Love (duet with Tiara)KG89rank/position

KG / Too Beloved (duet with Tiara)

The work “Itoshisugite duet with Tiara,” a collaboration between singer-songwriters KG and Tiara, is a heartrending love song about unrequited love.

The ear-pleasing melody makes it delightful to listen to! For men, the key is to sing without putting in too much force; for women, aim for a delicate, cute vocal style and breathiness like Tiara’s.

The tempo is relaxed, so it’s recommended as a calm, soothing duet song!

With just a kissMasaki Suda feat. Aimyon90rank/position

Masaki Suda “Just a Kiss feat. Aimyon”

This song is a collaboration between two stellar artists, Masaki Suda and Aimyon.

If you sing the opening male part sweetly, you’ll draw listeners in.

Because the melody is relaxed, you can’t rely on vibe alone to carry it—that’s the tricky part.

The lyrics are deep as well, so savor them as you sing.

This is a song that demands strong vocal ability from both performers, so if you’re confident in your voice, give it a try.

Preserved RosesT.M.Revolution × Nana Mizuki91rank/position

T.M.Revolution × Nana Mizuki 'Preserved Roses (Short Edit)'

This collaborative piece paints a grand worldview to the rhythm of Argentine tango.

Released in May 2013 as the opening theme for the TV anime Valvrave the Liberator, it debuted at No.

2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It was also performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen and received high praise across the board.

The harmony that showcases the two powerful vocalists is breathtaking, and it’s highly recommended for karaoke duets between women.

Why not belt it out with a friend and enjoy the energetic back-and-forth?
