Adding links to Namida Ga Afureta and capitalizing "Ga" to match how it is written in it's page. Maybe even that's song lyrics should be deleted from here, as they already are in the Namida Ga Afureta's page, but I won't touch that for now.
m (→Trivia: Wikipedia's page of this have that video as a reference, so I'm adding it here, as it is proof that the video exist. However, I won't delete the source needed template because I don't see a source that proves that the video in question was shoot on that date. Maybe somewhere in that Youtube video is the date, like in the description or in the video itself, but I don't know Japanese so I can't confirm nor deny.) |

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''. | ||
''Ai no Uta'' is also a music track available in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', played in the [[Distant Planet]] stage, along with a French version. The French version present in ''Brawl'' is incomplete, though a full version does exist. | ''Ai no Uta'' is also a music track available in ''[[Super Smash Bros.
