That was quick: about three weeks after reaching 2 million downloads, Japan’s most successful platform-free social game Puzzle & Dragons crossed the 3 million mark.
Puzzle & Dragons was released in the Japanese App Store in February this year and on Android in late September.

Here is the new (second) one that advertises Puzzle & Dragons on Japanese TV since the end of October:
