I took my final exam last Monday and when I arrived home in the afternoon, my parents sat still waiting for me. 

"How's the result?" they asked.
"Well...I'm passed." I dunno where my voice gone, it seems like I was whispering here.
"Congratulation." my mother said.

Hearing this, I kind of lost of words for a while. Honestly, I've never heard my mother said this word to me. Out of all the 'achievement' I've got since kindergarten to senior high, I never heard even once my mother said this as I remembered. Usually she said, 'glad you make it' or 'you've done your best'. Most of the time she's just smile, showing that her worries has gone. Its not that she's not proud of it or what, but that's how she expressed how she really care. So it kinda awkward hearing this 'congratulation' word, I even dunno how to react. I felt like tears is coming on my eyes (now that I'm writing this, it sounds so lame...haha). I dunno, I kinda feels I'm graduated one step forward from being always-be-their-daughter, it feels like I'm a truly adult now. It's kind of sad but happy at the same time ~.~. I was about to cry... Before that happenned, I rushed to give both my parents kiss on hand. (We're not used to give a hug or kiss on cheek in my family, the best way to express anything is to kiss our parents hand.) Luckily the tears didn't come or it will be even more awkward for me :P (I kinda don't want them worried about me again, ne...) 

Just after that I found out that actually they've already known about me passing the test from my sister. Indeed, I texted my sister before since she texted me first, asking how's the test result. I realized maybe they're really worried about me, and wanna make sure by asking me in person. Thank you Mum, Dad, I guess I never thank enough to you both.

I'm glad I finished my college years safely. Now I don't have to be ashamed to Sho...XDDD (even though I'm a freeter now...hey, is there anyone who have job offer for me, please?).
Those hard times when I faced big walls in front of me seemed like so far away. But these 3 months since I'm completely into Arashi, it feels like everything going so fast and surprisingly smoother than before (you could say that this is one of my fangirl fit boasting, but that's exactly how I feel now). Their songs help me a lot.

So, for everyone who's now struggling with their studies, I'd like to present my 'Arashi's Encouragement Songs List'. These songs I mention here have been in my 'must' play list ever since I've got them. Hope they also help you get through hard times.

to be free sky

I love this to be free framed sky <3


1. Mukae ni Iku yo
This song is quite new, but the lyrics are awesome. I've found an impressive subbed version of it from Scene Tour at [livejournal.com profile] astra_54 journal (go girl!!! keep fighting!!!).
2. Subarashiki Sekai
Indeed, this song always appear in my Arashi recommendation list. But the fact that this song is superb is undeniable. This world is a wonderful world, so don't give up and find your place!!!  
3. Step and Go
Just from the title you could emphasize the 'just walk and go on' feeling, ne? And the beat is quite cheerful.  
4. We Can Make It!
I already loved this song even before I got in fandom. No need to explain it since the title covered it all :)
5. Everything
A mid-beat song with beautiful lyrics. Definitely a must.
6. Sakura Sake
Even Arashi's members admitted that this spring-ish feeling song is perfect for student who take exam (it seems in Japan spring=exam???).
7. Fight Song
Ahaha...no more further explain, just GANBARO!!!
8. Believe
This is a new world, looking for my life, I can find myself.
9. To be free
Hmm...more than just the lyrics, it's the 'feel' that spread the encouragement.
10. Happiness
It's a totally cheering song for sure!
11. Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi
Of course, I love the 'Smile again, arigatou...' part. Whenever you're down, don't forget that hey! you STILL can smile. And isn't that great enough?
12. Sora Takaku
It gives the feeling of reassurance for me...

And which Arashi's song is the most encouraging for you? I'd like to know... :)

GANBATTE!!!

Ah, that's a lovely story (story? wrong word? idk :P). That's really nice your mother said that ^^
Congratulations on graduating!! Good luck for your future! ♥

Your list pretty much covers all of my Arashi encouragement songs ^^
It's hard to explain to people how a simple boyband (WAY more than that, I know XD I mean in other people's eyes...) can honestly change your life that much and provide so much encouragement.
I can feel now that this is going to be a long, rambley comment XD Sorry in advance!
But like you, I've only been in the loving grasp of Arashi for a few months, but already I feel like it's made a huge difference in... everything, really. It's like they can pick you up from any bad day, stress, anything... I guess I don't need to try and find the words to describe to a fellow Arashi fan because I'm sure you get what I'm saying XD
The lyrics and feeling of Mukae ni Iku yo pretty much described my day today, one of those emotional "ganbarimasu!" *nods* days ^^" (I guess it's the emotional feeling of V-Day in the air?)
It's really a beautiful song ^^

I hate to break away from fangirling over how life changing Arashi are, but another favourite encouragement song of mine is Keep Tryin' by Utada Hikaru ^^

For your future, ganbatte ne! ^^
And Happy Valentines Day! ♥

"I just kept making them anyway. It was like…made it, failed, made it, failed… (laughs) But if I had been failing too much, I just couldn’t find the way to fail anymore. Then it was getting closer to what I wanted slowly. Once I could make it, I really enjoyed making it."
