[edit] 2001-till now: Ai No Uta

On December 6, 2001, the group released their first and debut single, Ai No Uta under Nintendo. The song only appeared in the commercials for Pikmin and did not appear in the game itself, and these commercials only appeared in Japan and did not appear overseas. It appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a hidden song for the Distant Planet stage, though.

About three months after "Ai No Uta" was released, the group continued with another single, Pikmin Dance, featuring three dance versions of their 2001 single, Ai No Uta.

After a two year break, the group released another single, Tane No Uta. It was used in the commercials for Pikmin 2. This is also the first Strawberry Flower single with more than three tracks on it. The single also contained a Laugh remix of Ai No Uta. The b-side song, "Shabondama" (しゃぼん玉 Soap Bubbles?) was the game's opening theme song, and was upbeat. This single is rare and out of print.
