Update: Oishii has translated the Story section of the website, and this translation can be read at our forums.
Square Enix's official Japanese website for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance has been completely launched. The website contains various sections including "Story", "Characters", "World", "Spec", "Special" and of course it's "Top" page. There are also two sections "coming soon". We'll now go into the website in detail for you.
The website plays a new track from Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, specifically, a new version of Dearly Beloved. You can hear this below. You can listen to this song in our music section, here.
Under "Characters" and "World" are a large amount of screenshots and renders, a lot of which are new. These can be seen below, in our gallery. There's over 50 screenshots and renders, so we can't embed them all. You'll have to click the link below!

It is also likely that Weekly Shōnen Jump, which releases on December 19, will have an article with the same information. However, with the next Famitsu Weekly, we also have some confirmation. This comes from miladesn on Twitter, who posted a scan of the current issue which mentions KH3D appearing in the next. Thanks to Kingdom Hearts Insider for the tip.

In past Kingdom Hearts game Jiminy Cricket’s job was to chronicle Sora’s adventures. He has a different role in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. Riku will find Jiminy Cricket in Prankster’s Paradise, Pinocchio’s home in the Nintendo 3DS game, taking care of Pinocchio after the Blue Fairy brings him to life. Kingdom Hearts 3D uses the deck command system introduced in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. Each move has cooldown time and the game cycles through special attacks and spells after you use them. As seen in these screenshots, Sora has Ice Breaker as one of his commands. Riku has Dark Breaker and Blizzaga. Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is slated for a spring release in Japan.

Game Informer → December 2011
My experience with the Kingdom Hearts series is extremely limited, so when Square Enix plopped the new 3DS title in my hands I didn't know what to expect. While this Japanese-only demo left me scratching my head regarding specific details of Riku and Sora's quest, I came away with a solid grasp of the game's fun, fast-paced gameplay. What little we do know about Dream Drop Distance's story is that it takes place after Kingdom Hearts II, and that Sora and Riku must save several Disney-themed worlds from a sleep stasis. Waking these whimsical worlds means entering their altered dream states, defeating Dream Eaters to return them to normal, and in the process earning the two heroes their Keyblade Master certification.
I chose to play as Sora during my time in Traverse Town. After my brightly dressed protagonist awoke in the gorgeous cartoon village, I spent a few minutes talking to a spiky haired boy with headphones on. This is none other than Neku from the underappreciated gem The World Ends With You. Square Enix wants to add some fresh faces to the series' crossover craze, and this character is the first glimpse of a non-Final Fantasy or Disney character infiltrating the world. All we know about Neku at this point is that he's looking for his companion from The World Ends With You, Shiki. >>READ MORE>>
