== 2001-present: ''Ai No Uta'' ==
On [[December 6]], [[2001]], the group released their first and debut single, ''[[Ai no Uta (Strawberry Flower song)|Ai No Uta]]'' under [[Nintendo]]. The song only appeared in the commercials for [[Pikmin]] and did not appear in the game itself, and these commercials only appeared in [[Japan]] and did not appear overseas. It also featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a hidden song for the Distant Planet stage.
 
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.
 
After a two year break, the group released another single, ''[[Tane No Uta]]''. It was used in the commercials for [[Pikmin 2]]. This is also the first Strawberry Flower single with more than three tracks on it. The single also contained a Laugh remix of ''[[Ai no Uta (Strawberry Flower song)|Ai No Uta]]''. The b-side song, {{nihongo|'''"Shabondama"'''|しゃぼん玉|Soap Bubbles}} was the game's opening theme song, and was upbeat. This single is rare and [[out of print]].
