Away out out away, Free like a sail
Drift back to the shore, Thresholds of roar
Still there things piled up in my mind
Sandman wiped them all away
Then I saw you kneeled down on the sand
You never looked so small
Facing highest tides
Then I see that you came
From the land of glacier
O you won’t say no
To outlandish callers
Lights come down
And you best friends are scurrying homeward
No, not one of them would turn around
To meet you naked eyes
Still there things piled up in my mind
Sandboy took me by the hand
Then I saw you kneeled down on the sand
You never looked so small
Facing highest tides
Then I see that you came
From the land of glacier
Though you scrape so hard
You’re plainer than lucky daughters
Lights come down
And you best friends are scurrying homeward
And you rest your head
Upon their holy shoulders
Rest your head on holy shoulders
Scrape so hard like lucky daughters
Lights come down you never cared these days

Penny Arcade, who have been gradually getting back into action since their resurgence in 2017, release their first new music in 35 years. Coupled with two tracks that are reminiscent of the indie sound of the era when the term 'neo-acoustic' did not yet exist, and the new wave of the 80s.
Legendary guitar pop band formed in 1986 around guitarist Masato Ishida and vocalist Yoko Satori, who would later form Venus Peter, and active until 1989 as the core of the guitar pop scene that began quietly in Tokyo in the mid-1980s. The band played with Lollipop Sonic, who later became Flipper's Guitar, Roof's predecessors The Batulas and Osaka's Debonair, and became the forerunners of the guitar pop and indie scene that blossomed in the 1990s.
The reissue of A GIRL FROM PENNY ARCADE, a sound source from those days, led to a reunion live performance in 2017, and in 2023 they will perform together in the revival live performance of Velloud by Shuntaro Okino and Keigo Oyamada, and release new music in 2024, their first in 35 years. The current members are Masato Ishida, Yoko Satori, Soto and Eco.
