These days I find it hard to believe
These days, is a mirror deceiving me?
When I started it wasn't a game
But now I see it end, all again just the same
Now I'm fading, Angels singing me to sleep
Will you admire my smile still?
And the way that I walk
May you never fade away
Keep your faith eternity
Will you still find me?
In the corner of your eyes
These days I find it hard to believe
Now I'm fading, Voices whispering me to sleep
When I rise again and see
Grapes and vines all over me
Tonight the sun must shine
Wine of life goes down the drain
Who's there to taste it all?
Will you admire my facade?
Or my soul that I sold sometime ago
Don't mind if I fade away
Than to live forever eternity
These days I find it hard to believe
These days I just can't believe in me, like I used to anymore

Norma Jean
Penny Arcade
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.
