日本富士电视网络集团宣布将于明年1月起在该集团旗下一个卫星电视频道播出首部3D版电视连续剧《东京管控》（Tokyo Control）。据悉，该剧共10集，讲述了空中交通管制室中的管制官们的工作和生活，由川原亚矢子和时任三郎主演。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。

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".

Japan's first 3-D television series -- an airport drama called "Tokyo Control" -- will air from January on a satellite television channel, Fuji Television Network Inc. said.

Sky Perfect JSAT Corp. will broadcast the 10-episode drama about Tokyo's air traffic control centre, said Fuji Television, which produces the drama.

"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."

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.
