"3-D will give us a more vigorous and realistic impact," said actress Ayako Kawahara, who plays the main role. "I think (viewers) can feel like they are actually in there."

　　Three-dimensional technology has become increasingly mainstream with Japanese electronics makers releasing 3-D television sets, riding on the popularity of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Avatar".

　　Fuji will also launch a new midnight Sunday 3D slot on its broadcast satellite BS Fuji channel that will feature sports, documentaries and music programs. It will begin with three specials on Jan. 1, 2 and 3, and then commence regular broadcasts from Jan. 9.

　　The series will be titled 3D*3D – pronounced sande sande – a play on the Japanese word for three (san) and the English word Sunday.

　　Sony is partnering with Fuji, Japan’s biggest network, to produce the 3D for both series.

　　此外，富士电视台还将推出一档全新的周日午夜3D版节目《3D*3D》，主要涉及体育、纪录片以及音乐等内容，明年1月1、2、3日将率先播出三期特别制作版，然后从1月9日起开始定期播出。
