Fanlisting

For those of you who don't know what a fanlisting is... this is a site for all fans of a particular subject. Like a way of uniting fans you could say. ^_^ So at this site I hope to unite fans all over the world who like the song Ai no Uta from the game Pikmin.

Ai no Uta

"Ai No Uta" was a song released in conjunction with the video game Pikmin for the Nintendo GameCube. The song was only used in commercials for the game and does not appear in the game itself, and those commercials appeared only in Japan. A small clip of the song though can be heard being sung by the Pikmin in Pikmin 2. The song is sung by the group Strawberry Flower, who also produced the theme song for the sequel to Pikmin, Pikmin 2. The title of the song 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 song was featured in commercials for the Pikmin video game, in order to stimulate flagging sales. The song became immediately very popular in Japan and soon became one of the most recognizable songs in Japan at the time. The song itself was released as a CD Single on December 6th, 2001. It remained in the top ten for several weeks. Unexpectedly, the song actually outsold the game it has advertised, beating Pikmin's sales figures shortly after its release as a single. The song was a remarkable media phenomenon in that it sold equally well to people of all ages and tastes.

Lyrics

Hikko nukarete, anata dake ni tsuite iku
Kyou mo hakobu, tatakau, fueru, soshite taberareru

Hotta kasarete, mata atte, nagerarete
Demo watashitachi anata ni shitagai tsukushimasu

Sorosoro asonjaou kana
Sotto dekakete miyoukanante
Aa aa ano sora ni
Koi to ka, shinagara

Iron na inochi ga ikiteiru kono hoshi de
Kyou mo hakobu, tatakau, fueru, soshite taberareru

Hikko nukarete, atsumatte, tobasarete
Demo watashitachi aishitekure to wa iwanai yo

Sorosoro asonjaou kana
Motto ganbatte miyoukanante
Aa aa ano sora ni
Koi to ka, shinagara

Chikara awasete, tatakatte, taberarete
Demo watashitachi anata ni shitagai tsukushimasu

Tachi mukatte, damatte, tsuitette
Demo watashitachi aishitekure to wa iwanai yo
