The Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance demo at Jump Festa 2012 has a large focus on the new world based on Mickey · Donald · Goofy: The Three Musketeers, called "Country of the Musketeers". Due to this, a lot of details are appearing about this world. They mostly come from aibo and sqexgal, and the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine scan comes from All Games Beta. Thanks to Kingdom Hearts Insider for the tip.

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.
