Like ''[[Ai no Uta]]'', '''''Tane no Uta''''' ({{j|種のうた|Tane no Uta|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 {{w|Enhanced CD|CD Extra}} capabilities. There is actually a TV commercial present on the disc when booted on a computer.{{cite youtube|Sc9gJsYWJF4|of the unique ''Tane no Uta'' commercial|published={{date|30|August|2019}}|retrieved={{date|30|August|2019}}}}

<poem style="text-align:center;">
あか　ぴくみん　は　ひ　に　つよい
あお　ぴくみん　は　おぼれない
きい　ぴくみん　は　たかく　とぶ
むらさき　ぴくみん　ちから　もち
しろ　ぴくみん　には…
どく　が　ある
こせい　が　いろいろ　いきて　いる　よ

あたま　の　てっぺん　め　を　だして
その　め　が　はっぱ　に　そだったら
その　は　は　つぼみ　に　ちぢこまり
その　つぼみ　から　はな　さいた
みんな　あつまって
きれい　でしょう
こせい　は　いろいろ　さかせましょう

あかい　ゆうひ　ご　もえてる
あおい　うみ　から　かお　だして
きいろい　ほし　が　うまれたら
むらさき　いろ　の　よあけ　から
しろ　いちにち　が…
はじまる　よ
こせい　が　いろいろ　うつくしい　ね

''<poem style="text-align:center;">
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...

Kosei ga iroiro utsukushii ne
</poem>''

===English (roughly translated)===
''<poem style="text-align:center;">
The Red Pikmin are fire resistant
The Blue Pikmin don't drown
The Yellow Pikmin fly high
The Purple Pikmin have strength
The White Pikmin is... 
poisonous
There are lots of different types of personalities

A sprout emerges from the top of their heads
Once that sprout grows into a leaf
That leaf curls up into a bud,
and a flower blooms from that bud
Everyone comes together, 
Aren't they beautiful?
Let's bloom many types 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 the different kinds of personalities beautiful?
</poem>''

== Trivia ==
* In {{ssb4}} and {{ssbu}}, Viridi's explanation of each Pikmin in [[smashwiki:Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] lists the Pikmin in the same order as in ''Tane no Uta''. This may be a deliberate reference since {{ssbb}}'s Smash Taunt conversation involving the Pikmin references ''[[Ai no Uta]]''.
