I think Greatful days is deliberate. The town I live in has the tagline of "heartful city," which doesn't make since to a native speaker, but I can also see what they were getting at: they assumed that the suffix -ful means "full of," so they were going for the idea that their city is "full of heart." So..."days full of greatness"? Having said that, there are a lot of silly Japangrishisms, too...
