'''Namida Ga Afureta''' ("The Tears Overflowed") is a relatively rare piece of music that serves as the B-side of the single ''[[Ai no Uta]]'' by Strawberry Flower. While the lyrics to ''Ai no Uta'' focused primarily  on the Pikmin and their conveyance of unconditional love toward [[Captain Olimar]] during his quest to return home, '' Namida Ga Afureta'' 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]].

<center><poem><i>The tears overflowed
The tears overflowed
And I didn't say that I loved you
I'm sorry

The starry sky blurred
The starry sky blurred
And I didn't say that I loved you
I'm sorry

I can come up with complex words
But I don't think that I can even say simple ones

I let out a sigh
I let out a sigh
And I didn't say that I loved you
I'm sorry

Stardust fell
Stardust fell
And I didn't say that I loved you
I'm sorry

I can come up with complex words
But I don't think that I can even say simple ones

The tears overflowed
The tears overflowed
The tears overflowed
The tears overflowed

I'm sorry for
Not saying something like this</i></poem></center>
