That is honestly amazing. Boggles my mind. A question, though, if I may:
If someone wants to have their skin on the Japanese site, would they have to upload it to Wincustomize AND Wincustomize.jp? It would be really cool if you could..like..click a checkbox while uploading so that it sends it to the Japanese site, as well. And maybe translates the description or something. I dunno, I just think that it would benefit skinners AS WELL AS the people who check that jp site.

I think for your skins to work with the characters you have to design it a specific way. I think that is why they contacted some authors and they probably had to make some adjustments (plus I am sure they wanted as many skins as possible)

Funny, first bit of the title translates as: UinKasutamaizu ~ WinCustomize in phonetic Japanese.

I told this now for years, that most skins here (about 90%) wasn't running properly under japanese OS, but nobody listened. Great that things begin to change a bit.
