The 22nd NHK Yorudora is Ai to yuujou no boogie-woogie, a story of laughter and tears that follow five hopeless housewives, who each have their own weaknesses. However, they form an acapella group called "The Boogie-woogie 5." For the first time in their lives, they recognize the importance of people other than family. Also, after getting a motorcycle license, now they can travel to places they couldn't go to before in order to sing with their group. After they step out from the small worlds of their families to the outside world, something changes in each of them. You can do it, too. This is an entertaining drama that carries a message of hope in the boogie-woogie rhythm to all housewives around the country. -- translated from excerpts of NHK synopsis by awrittensin
