Strawberry Flower was a Japanese music duo, mostly known for their work with Nintendo in creating songs for TV commercials for the Pikmin franchise.
Tomozuma came up with "Ai no Uta", and then called Tomoe Watanabe to record vocals, that way, forming the Strawberry Flower duo.
[2] The song was released as a single in December of that same year, climbing to #2 in the Oricon charts in January 2002, becoming a massive hit and selling over 600,000 copies, outselling Japanese sales of Pikmin itself.
Meanwhile, the single release had a B-side called "Namida ga Afureta", which talks about the game's events from Olimar's point of view.
The resulting single was "Tane no Uta", released in May 2004, based on the Japanese children's nursery rhyme "Koganemushi", with the lyrics adapted to talk about each Pikmin color.
[6] The CD single also came with a cover of the Japanese nursery rhyme "Shabondama" and a remix of "Ai no Uta", with re-recorded vocals and instrumentation.
The first of them was the 2008 crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where both songs were included as background music for the Pikmin-themed Distant Planet stage.
