Greetings from all of us on the Flipnote Hatena team! This is Aaron at Hatena's offices in Kyoto, Japan with another edition of our weekly news blog.
This week we are happy to introduce some of the best Flipnotes that were posted about the topic of "Dreams". Thanks to all of you who posted Flipnotes, and we hope that you enjoy the Flipnotes that we have chosen to feature here.
For this week's topic we'd like you to "manufacture" something in your Flipnotes. The topic is very broad and has many possibilities, and should be a lot of fun. For more information please scroll down.
Also, Halloween is a little over 2 weeks away, and to get ready for the holiday we've prepared a new series of themes that we hope you'll enjoy.
Thanks for taking the time to check out the weekly news blog, and looking forward to seeing your Flipnotes!
