'''''Ai no Uta'' ~ Pikmin CM Song - Single''' ({{j|愛のうた ~ ピクミンCMソング - Single|Ai no Uta ~ Pikumin CM Songu - Shinguru|Song of Love}}) is a single by a Japanese image group called [[Strawberry Flower]]. This is their debut single whose A side, ''Ai no Uta'', was featured in Japanese commercials for {{p1}}, and is used in some games. Unexpectedly, the single actually outsold the game itself.{{cite web|https://nendai-ryuukou.com/2000/song/063|Ai no Uta's total copies sold in Japan|Nendai Ryuukou}}{{cite web|https://web.archive.org/web/20080409074438/http://www.japan-gamecharts.com/gc.php|Pikmin's total copies sold in Japan|Japan Game Charts}} The single reached a peak of #2 on the Oricon Top 200 weekly single rankings, and has appeared 18 times on the chart since its release. {{Cite web|https://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/288453/products/465299/1/}} About three months after ''Ai no Uta'' was released, the group continued with another single, ''Pikmin Dance'', featuring three dance versions of their 2001 song, ''Ai no Uta''. The CD comes with a disc, and a lyric book, containing exclusive artwork and lyrics for both ''Ai no Uta'' and ''[[Namida Ga Afureta]]''.
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''.

<center><poem><i> We are the Pikmin, we came to help you, (we are) your new friends.
 
We multiply and full of energy we fight against your enemies.
<center>
In a roll-call we answer, a call of yours and we come running
<poem><i>The tears overflowed
At your command we are ready to obey, we are the Pikmin at your service.
The tears overflowed
And I didn't say that I loved you
I'm sorry


On our strange little star
The starry sky blurred
Inhabited by thousands of creatures, often hostile.
The starry sky blurred
Ah... ah... We are always here.
And I didn't say that I loved you
We are watching over you like angels.
I'm sorry


We are the Pikmin, even if we are eaten, we can rise from the dead
I can come up with complex words
We are stronger on the path when we're joined hand in hand.
But I don't think that I can even say simple ones
Time doesn't count on this planet, unknown until now
Together we're going to have fun, and we are the Pikmin to help you.


On our strange little star
I let out a sigh
Inhabited by thousands of creatures, often hostile.
I let out a sigh
Ah... ah... We are always here.
And I didn't say that I loved you
We are watching over you like angels.
I'm sorry


We are the Pikmin, we came to help you, (we are) your new friends.
Stardust fell
We multiply and full of energy we fight against your enemies.
Stardust fell
In a roll-call we answer, a call of yours and we come running
And I didn't say that I loved you
At your command we are ready to obey, we are the Pikmin at your service.</i></poem></center>
