One such song that has left a lasting impact is “Sorairo Days” by NateWantsToBattle, a full English cover of the original song by 空色デイズ (Sorairo Days) by 中川翔子 (Shoko Nakagawa) from the popular anime series “Gurren Lagann.” I remember stumbling upon this song while browsing through anime soundtracks, and little did I know that it would become one of my all-time favorites.
