Synopsis:
Ainori is a popular television program in Japan where seven young men and women travel the world riding a pink bus. The program is reminiscent of a travelogue; as of December 2008, the show has followed the bus across 90 countries as participants explore both famous tourist attractions and more off-the-beaten-path places.

The show's twist is that the participants are each young, single people whose goal is to find love with another participant and return to Japan as a couple. Those who find the courage to confess to their love interest are either rewarded by going home as a couple, or find themselves rejected and return to Japan alone. After each departure, new participants are added to the mix.

As of March, 2009, 44 couples have found love through the program, and there have been 8 marriages (though one couple has divorced). On March 1, 2005, the first "Ainori Baby" was born, and as of mid-2008 there have been 4 babies born in total.
