Stages of Life (121) +1
From the pellet, Captain Olimar raised the Pikmin. From leaf, to bud, to flower, it thrived and protected its master unconditionally in a string of selfless sacrifices. But all life must come to an end; the Onion looms above throughout it all, ensuring that the life of the species will move on in light of an individual's death.
I felt inspired to take this snapshot by the translated lyrics to "Ai No Uta," a song that you should all be familiar with. I posted the translated lyrics into the comments section. It took about an hour to get this right, making it the hardest snapshot I've ever taken. I think it was worth it though :) I hope you do too.

What a touching story! And the snapshot is absolutely perfect.
I could already suggest this in the forums for a feature, should I do that now?
I always feel bad when Pikmin die....
Beautiful snapshot.
Beautiful snapshot.
Darklight: if you think my pic deserves a feature, then do so if you feel compelled to. But I don't want to sway you one way or another, that's not my decision. Thanks though, glad you liked it!
I can hear the song playing just looking at this... <3
Predicting a feature for this!
sniff i will cry u an epic tear
This pic looks good! I could never do it since I simply don't know how to work with Olimar. +1!
It really is amazing what this song can make you feel, isn't it? That's actually the thing that first made me want to play Pikmin, you know. Never regretted it.
You are the master of snapshotting.
I must bow down to your greatness.
*Bows*
*Bows again*
*Bows yet again for good measure*

Wow! I had no idea Pikmin was such a touching story...*sniffles*
Sponsored for only a buck? Yeesh, this snapshot is worth more than just one song on iTunes.
I would sponsor this myself, but I can't. I would if I could, honest.

thats a really touching story. i've never liked pikmin but after reading this, i've started liking them
VERY deserving :D
Finally!!! Congrats on the feature!
In the April 2002 issue of "Nintendo Power", they had translated lyrics for "Ai No Uta" (I don't know if there's was as long as yours, though...I'll have to look sometime).
I like the translation in your comment better, though. :-)

Excellent.
Uhhhh..... WTF?
Uprooted, we'll follow you alone.
Today once again we'll carry, fight, multiply and be eaten.
Dug up, we'll meet again and be thrown around.
But we'll follow you forever.
I guess it's time to play.
Maybe we'll go out quietly.
Ah... ah... falling in love...
Under that sky...
On this planet, where so many life forms live,
Today once again we'll carry, fight, multiply and then be eaten.
Uprooted, we'll gather, and be thrown.
But we won't ask you to love us.
I guess it's time to play.
Maybe we'll try harder.
Ah, ah... falling in love...
Under that sky...
We'll work together, fight, and be eaten,
But we'll follow you forever.
We'll fight, be silent, and follow you,
But we won't ask you to love us.
