[Karaoke] Duet Song Rankings [2025]

WINDING ROADAyaka × Kobukuro29rank/position

Kobukuro – WINDING ROAD (Ayaka × Kobukuro)

A duet song with a striking a cappella opening.

It’s the ultimate tag team: Ayaka, with her outstanding vocal prowess, and Kobukuro, whose harmonies are top-notch! Ayaka’s parts are in a high key, and Kobukuro’s harmonies sound pretty challenging too, but it’d be so cool to nail this at karaoke! With lyrics that give a push to those who are struggling and a bright, upbeat melody, it’s guaranteed to hype up any karaoke session!

Grand EscapeRADWIMPS feat. Toko Miura30rank/position

Grand Escape

One of the songs featured in Makoto Shinkai’s film Weathering With You.

It’s a collaboration between RADWIMPS, who also handled the music for the previous film Your Name, and Toriko Miura, who is active as both a singer and an actress.

Most of the vocals are performed by Toriko Miura, while RADWIMPS’s Yojiro Noda sings the male parts, which are primarily harmonies.

Although it’s a male–female duet, it could also be fun for same-voice partners to experiment with different harmony lines.

We also recommend flipping the roles—having a man take the lead on the traditionally female part while the woman focuses on harmonies—for a fresh way to enjoy the song!

A Lump of LoveKinKi Kids31rank/position

A Lump of Love – KinKi Kids (Full)

Kinki Kids’ “Ai no Katamari” captivates with its wistful melody and lyric brimming with happiness.

It’s also an ambitious work, with both lyrics and music created by the two members of Kinki.

The fact that men sing lyrics from a woman’s perspective shows real flair, doesn’t it? A winter duet classic that lets their harmonies shine beautifully! Even if you’re not into Johnny’s idols, you’ve probably heard it at least once—so be sure to pick it when you go to karaoke with friends.

Hachi MV “Matryoshka” HACHI / MATRYOSHKA

This is a song by Hachi, who is also hugely popular under the name Kenshi Yonezu.

Released in 2010, it sparked a major craze.

The slightly distorted word choices in the lyrics and the lively sound capture listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.

There are countless derivative works.

If you sing it at karaoke, be sure to add hand claps.

It will definitely hype up the room.

Itsunoma ni feat. Aimer, WanukaMAISONdes33rank/position

[feat. Aimer, Wanuka] When Did It Happen / MAISONdes

MAISONdes has brought about collaborations among a variety of artists.

The song from Room 245 is “Itsunoma ni feat.

Aimer, Wanuka.” This piece features Aimer and Wanuka, both known for their high-pitched vocals.

It’s a song that sings of the small joys of everyday life, so singing it is sure to warm your heart.

Another charm is how their two voices add a sense of drama to the track.

When singing it at karaoke, pay attention to the rising intonation at the ends of phrases and be mindful of the parts that feel like you’re speaking directly to the listener.

Hey, hey, hey.PinocchioP34rank/position

PinocchioP – Hey Hey Hey. feat. Kagamine Rin & Hatsune Miku / Nee Nee Nee.

This is a duet number by Kagamine Rin and Hatsune Miku.

It’s a track by the multi-creator PinocchioP—known for popular works like “Slow Motion”—released in August 2021.

It’s included on the album “LOVE.” The soundscape perfectly embodies the world of PinocchioP, and the relatable lyrics are irresistible.

The song explores themes of loneliness and alienation on social media and in digital spaces, with distinctive wordplay that’s also captivating.

The catchy melody in the chorus is really satisfying to listen to.

The Path Where Beasts TreadRingo Sheena and Hiroji Miyamoto35rank/position

Ringo Sheena and Hiroji Miyamoto – The Narrow Road the Beast Walks

An extraordinarily lavish collaborative number by Ringo Sheena and Hiroji Miyamoto, the vocalist of Elephant Kashimashi! Composed by Ringo Sheena as the theme song for “news zero.” The brilliant melody, befitting such a star-studded collaboration, draws you in more and more with every listen.

To capture Ringo Sheena’s signature bewitching allure and Hiroji Miyamoto’s distinctive rugged masculinity, it’s best to sing it as a male–female duet, just like the original.

When you perform, don’t be shy—immerse yourselves fully in the song’s world, and the cool factor will soar!
