'''Ai no Uta''' ("Song of Love") is a Japanese song that featured in commercials for ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''; a short clip of it [[Easter eggs#Pikmin theme song|can be heard]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' by assembling 20 of each of the 5 colours of [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. The song is sung by the group [[Strawberry Flower]], who also produced the theme song for ''Pikmin 2''. The song itself was released as a CD Single on December 6, 2001 and remained in the top ten for several weeks. Unexpectedly, the song actually outsold the game itself. About three months after ''Ai no Uta'' was released, the group continued with another single, ''Pikmin Dance'', featuring three dance versions of their 2001 single, ''Ai no Uta''.
The title of the A side translates to ''Song of Love'', so-named because the song expounds on the emotions the Pikmin feel in relation to their involvement in the game, and also their devotion to their given task of helping the game's protagonist, [[Captain Olimar]]. The B side, ''Namida ga Afureta'', translates to ''The Tears Overflowed'', and is phrased more from Olimar's perspective of the Pikmin as well as how he feels about them - which in turn seems difficult for him to express. In this song, the sorrowful space captain deeply regrets never telling the Pikmin that he loved them before departing back to his home planet of [[Hocotate]]. The third track is an instrumental version of ''Ai no Uta''.

English translation

Pulled out again, we'll follow you alone.
Today once again we'll carry, fight, multiply and be consumed.
Left alone again, we'll meet again and be thrown around again.
But we'll follow you forever.

I guess it's time to play.
Maybe we'll go out quietly.
Ah..., ah... falling in love...
Under that sky...

On this planet, where so many life forms live,
Today once again we'll carry, fight, multiply and then be consumed.
Uprooted, we'll gather, and be thrown.
But we won't ask you to love us.

I guess it's time to play.
Maybe we'll try harder.
Ah..., ah... falling in love...
Under that sky...

We'll work together, fight, and be consumed,
But we'll follow you forever.
We'll fight, be silent, and follow you,
But we won't ask you to love us.
