Like Ai no Uta, Tane no Uta (種のうた?, lit.: "Song of Seed") was used in the Japanese advertisements, specifically those for Pikmin 2. The song can also be partially heard in some games. Oddly enough, the CD of Tane no Uta comes with CD Extra capabilities. There is actually a TV commercial present on the disc when booted on a computer.[1]
In games[edit]
- New Play Control! Pikmin 2: The Japanese version has an exclusive attract mode cutscene where the track plays. It is not present in the Switch release.[2]
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl: It is one of the unlockable tracks for Distant Planet.
Lyrics[edit]
Japanese[edit]
赤ピクミンは火に強い
青ピクミンは溺れない
黄ピクミンは高く飛ぶ
紫ピクミン力持ち
白ピクミンには毒がある
個性がイロイロ生きているよ
頭のてっぺん芽を出して
その芽が葉っぱに育ったら
その葉はつぼみにちぢこまり
そのつぼみから花咲いた
みんな集まってきれいでしょ
個性はイロイロ咲かせましょう
赤い夕陽が燃えている
青い海から顔出して
黄色い星が生まれたら
紫色の夜明けから
白い一日が始まるよ
個性がイロイロうつくしいね
Japanese (Romaji)[edit]
Aka Pikumin wa hi ni tsuyoi
Ao Pikumin wa oborenai
Ki Pikumin wa takaku tobu
Murasaki Pikumin chikara mochi
Shiro Pikumin niwa doku ga aru
Kosei ga iroiro ikite iru yo
Atama no teppen me wo dashite
Sono me ga happa ni sodattara
Sono ha wa tsubomi ni chidjikomari
Sono tsubomi kara hana saita
Minna atsumatte kirei deshou
Kosei wa iroiro sakasemashou
Akai yuuhi ga moeteiru
Aoi umi kara kao dashite
Kiiroi hoshi ga umaretara
Murasaki iro no yoake kara
Shiroi ichinichi ga hajimaru yo
Kosei ga iroiro utsukushii ne
English (unofficial translation)[edit]
The Red Pikmin are fire resistant
The Blue Pikmin do not drown
The Yellow Pikmin fly high
The Purple Pikmin are strong
The White Pikmin is poisonous
They all live with various kinds of personalities
From the top of their heads, a sprout emerges
Once that sprout grows into a leaf
That leaf curls up into a bud,
and a flower blooms from that bud
When everyone gathers around, aren't they beautiful?
Let's bloom all kinds of personalities
The red setting sun is burning
Poking their faces out from the blue ocean
Once a yellow star is born
From the purple dawn, a white day has begun
Aren't these kinds of personalities beautiful?
Trivia[edit]
- In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Viridi's explanation of each Pikmin in Palutena's Guidance lists the Pikmin in the same order as in Tane no Uta. This may be a deliberate reference since Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Smash Taunt conversation involving the Pikmin references Ai no Uta.
