Yes, for those who didn’t hear, SEPTEMBER 12th is a momentous day: the day in which Mako-chan was born. ^_^ She’s been my best friend for years and has always impressed me with her poise, heart, and talent. During the past year, Mako-chan’s talents have turned themselves to skinning. Her current count is over ONE HUNDRED SKINS, all made by hand, and her creative juices don’t show any sign of stopping. Since I was gone in Japan all of last year, I wanted to do something very special for Mako-chan’s big birthday. While thinking about it, I poured through her pages and looked at all of the skins. Some are beautiful and some are obscure, but some had really strong memories attached to them. These weren’t necessarily the best looking skins, the most useful skins, or even the skins that I liked the best, but they had amazing memories attached to them none the less. And so, I decided to provide my TOP TEN Mako-chan skins of all time. They aren’t all my favorites, but every time I look at these skins, they mean a lot to me. So come with me on a journey through MINAKO-CHAN’S TOP TEN SKIN COUNTDOWN~! And there might just be something at the end for people who read the whole thing, too. ;-D

Let the newest J-rock Pokemon, Nyackt, take you through countdown.
