Comment from Yukihiro Osawa, President and CEO of Dolby Japan
At the end of 2013, TOHO Cinemas introduced 3D sound technology Dolby Atmos to theaters for the first time in Japan. I am very pleased that you have decided to introduce Dolby Cinema this time. In Japan, too, movie studios that support Dolby Cinema production have started to line up, and we would like to report that the number of Japanese movies that support our technology is increasing, not just Hollywood movies, but regardless of whether they are animation or live action. Dear movie buffs, enjoy the ultimate cinema experience with Dolby Cinema, which unleashes the emotion of every movie.
