Origin
This song was composed as an advertising tie-in to the original Pikmin, playing in its commercials. It is a full, three-verse song with Japanese lyrics, and was performed by an anonymous band credited as "Strawberry Flower". The translated title, "Song of Love", is somewhat ironic; the song's lyrics concern the Pikmin's plight in being used as pawns for Captain Olimar, mentioning that they won't ask to be loved regardless.
Composition & Arrangements
Composition and arrangements Copyright Strawberry Flower.
Japanese title: 愛のうた, Song of Love
Trivia
In Japan, this song was released as an officially charting single, where it actually managed to outsell the game it was meant to be advertising.

Link | [8] |
Origin
This track could be considered a completely original creation for Brawl, as it is a recording of ambient noises that would typically occur in a forest or jungle environment, including rustling leaves, the snapping of twigs, animal calls, cricket chirps and bird songs. These sound effects were all used in Pikmin and Pikmin 2 at some point in the games.
Composition & Arrangements
Arrangement Supervisor: Takahiro Nishi,
Composer: Nintendo,
Arranger: GAME ARTS Co.,Ltd.
Japanese title: 環境音, Environmental Noises
Trivia
- Both versions of Ai No Uta and Tane No Uta are owned by an organization rather than the owner of the IPs. This trait is shared with the music from Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the Culdcept series, Soma Bringer, Style Savvy: Styling Star, and Dragon Quest series, as well as Checker Knights.
- Those two alongside Checker Knights are the first songs in the Super Smash Bros series to not originate from a video game, succeeded by songs from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
