And ... aren't really related to weeaboos in the slightest, aside from the fact that a distressing amount of weebs call themselves otaku because they have no idea what otaku actually means. Well. I guess if you really hate a weeaboos, you'd see them as otaku, but weebness as a whole tends to be a lot lighter than otakudom.

Listen up: what can you hear? Does my voice simply disappear, Sucked away into the void, so empty and so dark? If there is more to this world, Then I can be certain at last That this drive burning within Has some role to fulfill I was crushed by the longing welling up inside And I had just surrendered Without having touched the air above the ground or the endless sky So I began to run Because I feel it, even now, These sensations overflowing in the beating of my heart I say Carpe Diem As I am reaching for my goal We'll create our own tomorrows 'till this world is finally whole The answer I have found Will always burn within my soul Time goes on, nothing will last I will not hold onto the past I cannot waver again because I am afraid No more doubt, no more regret No more things to make me forget That I am destined for more, and it's all in my hands I have traveled so far and learned so many things By following your shadow And now I can see that it is only me who can seize my fate I listened to your words, and I can hear them even now 'Cause they echo in this memory that I hold deep in my heart I've found the reason why, and I just know it's here to stay: I was born into this world so I could cherish every day The answer I have found Will never ever go away All these truths revealed themselves in a way that was so natural and warm Those precious days of youth haven't yet come to end, and they will return So I began to run Because I feel it, even now, These sensations overflowing in the beating of my heart I say Carpe Diem As I am reaching for my goal We'll create our own tomorrows 'till this world is finally whole The answer I have found Will always burn within my soul

[@KyuJuEX099]

Is this really the lyrics? Looks kinda different than the usual one I saw.

[@PepperBMinty]

​@@KyuJuEX099 i'm pretty sure that their translation is inaccurate because it's showing how you could potentially **sing** it if you were to do a cover in english. if you listen to the song while reading this translation, the breaks in the text follow along really well to the breaks in singing... as well as the rhyming, which wouldn't typically be there if you directly translated it. which is really cool! i'm curious if they took it from a cover or something-- if not, this is a lot of work!

Saekano brought me here. Listening to that live house bit and thought "Nooo, they're not playing Sorairo Days are they?" Then the other guitars and drums kicked in, and I was transported to a time where anime were more than 12 episodes long, and where little kids could pilot robots and shout about drilling to pierce the heavens!

Listesing her sing Sorairo Days in the First Take, the song feels different. In that rendition the song feels like power is is always there within you, the og version it feels like its swelling from within you.

lawlerzwtf My guess is because the video looks like a photoshoot, so it's probably there to just make her look like a rockstar

ThunderGun2 how can you be on a Japanese music video and not know the attack names in Japanese? Breaker is the Japanese version.

[@richardvaughan1991]

ThunderGun2 if that were the case, then the transcribed romaji of what they said would have been "giga doriru bureiku". Listen to it, that's clearly an A at the end rather than a U, hence "breaker"

Whenever I listen to this song it takes me right back to watching Gurren Lagann in my dorm room as a college freshman in 2009. Kind of makes me mourn for the loss of the person I was, if you'll pardon the seriously overwrought, incredibly sappy sentiment. haha Like, idk, I haven't changed THAT drastically over the last fourteen years or anything. Sure, I'm in my 30s now, but I'm still the same person in general. But when I hear this I can't help but miss how I felt about... just, LIFE, back then, y'know? Everything seemed so much simpler. I think we can probably all relate to that on some level.

[@Kengaku212]

I feel you man. It's crazy how time goes by

[@StrawberryEV]

i definetly feel you, I find it helps to choose one thing to do to satisfy that you, cause who knows, there is probs some 2009 left in you yet, maybe rewatch the show for the hells of it

[@BariBariKawa]

Spiral power is a metaphor for the vital energy that flows through our bodies - specifically through points known as chakras. Chakras are often compared to wheels or vortices because they are essentially centers of spinning or rolling (see the game Katamari Damacy - "rolling stars" takes on a whole new meaning) energy. The theme of spirals and drills comes from the spinning of the energy wheels known as chakras. Part of why I love Gurren Lagann is that it mixes in genuine knowledge in a straight-forward way to create a fantastical world that still remains plausible when one considers the unlimited nature of human potential - which extends to the potential of life, or life-force.
