Finally, Ichiro-Style has achieved its 100th post milestone. Since its inception from February, Ichiro-Style went through all the troubles from building a web page and setting up a server. There was one instance where the worst case scenario has transpired, the website got deleted without having back-ups and had almost zero chance of recovery (it’s a good thing that google is our friend), but this did not seem to stop Ichiro-Style, it even made us grow and improve (as you can see from the recent change from the theme). But all this hardships didn’t come to fruition without our beloved readers and friends (Special mention to Sankaku Complex and its constituents.) that linked us here.

I suppose I should take this also as an opportunity to bring back our previous articles that seemed to be special. Some of these are my personal favorites, and some are the most frequently visited posts. To start it off, I’ll give you the top 10 of the posts.

10. Motto☆Hade ni ne!

This one is my very first post, which is why I consider it as special. It is about the complete version of the opening song from Kannagi (which is my favorite anime at that time, which also explains why the characters are in the banner). I was all about Kannagi at that time, and I didn’t seem to mind if I ever made all my articles about that anime.
You can see how short the article was since I was not good at it. At that time, I have always found words to be quite shy to me that they hide and I could not write them in my posts.

9. Musuhi No Toki

This is my second post, it’s is again about Kannagi. I could not think of a new post so that is why it ended up with this. But it seems that I always get back at it and listen to the song that contributed to the birth of this website.

8. Nagi-Sama Cosplay

Now it is all about Nagi, she is my anime goddess and inspiration. This post caters an extremely well made cosplay rendition of Nagi.

7. Let’s Go! Omnyouji – Old News On New Site!

This one is one of my personal favorites, the Omnyouji MAD that almost made me crazy listening to it. You just have to find out yourself why by reading the post. You could also check out the lyrics in Kana and Romaji so you can sing along.

6. Perfume – Seventh Heaven

This MAD seems to be one of my favorite, because the animation is spectacular and quite fitting to the music and the mood. This is also one of the animations that made me work on my animation studies at that time.

5. Hatsune Miku – World is Mine and The Greatest Princess in the World

This is one of the best Hatsune Miku songs I have ever listened to, and this post is also one of the most viewed and frequently visited from this site.
This song also comes with a Kawashima Ami version which is also very good. In my opinion, it really beats the Hatsune Miku version as this one is more natural to hear and just quite skillfully made.

4. Violin Meltdown

Another one from my favorite MAD collection is the Violin Meltdown. This video seems to be popular until now, that is why this post continuous to be one of the most visited posts too. Thanks to YouTube, that every time someone watches the video I uploaded, they click the link written at the video description that links back here.

3. Ichiro’s Style in Colors

This post is about my mediocre digital coloring skills helping a friend of mine online with his line art. Not much about it, but it seems special for me.

2. Ichiro’s Epic Fail (;_;)

As mentioned in the introduction, this post talks about the recent Failure of Ichiro (which is me) who did not back up his website and also ending up deleting it together with the whole database with the posts and website settings in it.

1. Philippines bans Sankaku Complex, Cause: Not enough Philippine related articles

Save the best for the last, as some of us might say. This post is my most favorite and also is the most viewed in Ichiro-Style. This article is an April fools that really got everyone fall for it. And I also felt this is one of my best written articles as I really have difficulty with words at that time.
Well since I’ve spoiled it already, you could still read it and look at the comments to find out some of those who fell for it.

And now to sum up this post. I hereby thank all of the readers/visitors specially those who regularly come here and of course Sankaku Complex and company, the bloggers who link here and Nagi-sama who is the one that gave birth to this site.
Lastly, feel free to give suggestions via the comments or you can contact me in the Sankaku Complex IRC Channel where I frequent upon. And also, if you have some extra “peanuts”, you could donate it via the donation cat-box on the right side of the page.
