Touch 3 centers around the relationship between the protagonists Tatsuya Uesugi and Minami Asakura.

In addition, the story is filled with unique characters such as Tatsuya's rival Eijiro Kashiwaba and Tatsuya's older brother Kazuya Uesugi. The battle scene between Tatsuya and Eijiro is particularly worth watching, and the depiction of the baseball scenes is very realistic and powerful.

The animation director was Eguchi Marisuke, and the film is known for its beautiful visuals and precise movements. The baseball scenes in particular are incredibly realistic, drawing the viewer in. Additionally, the background art was also created by Kanemura Katsuyoshi, and is detailed, enriching the worldview of the film.

The music is by Hiroaki Serizawa, and the theme song "Kimi ga Toorisuta Atoni -DON'T PASS ME BY-" is sung by Alfie. The beautiful melody and lyrics of this song are memorable, as if they symbolize the sad love between Tatsuya and Minami. The ending theme "FOR THE BRAND-NEW DREAM" was also released by Canyon Records, further deepening the emotional impact of the work.
