Gurren Lagann OP “Sorairo Days” by Shoko Nakagawa

Shoko Nakagawa :

“Normal people might think I’m an otaku just because I’m into anime and video games. But hardcore otaku, who might know much more about anime and manga than me, could say, ‘No, she’s not really an otaku.’ “

“I wasn’t supposed to show this side of myself to people at all. But when I started writing about myself on my blog, people who had similar interests began sharing their comments with me. I finally felt some kind of acceptance. And I realized that since life is short, I should just be who I am and not try to hide it anymore.”

“Sometimes I see normal, decent-looking girls at my shows, but down inside they can be deep, deep otaku. I sometimes get letters from them that say, ‘I’m an otaku, but I can’t tell any of my friends about it. But thanks to you, I don’t feel so ashamed to be an otaku anymore.’
