My favourite TV show in Japan is Ainori, which basically means "the love ride". It's as simple as it sounds; a group of young-ish Japanese ride the bus in different locations around the world, and try to pair off. They either leave the show loved up or heartbroken, only for new contestants to take their place. Some couples, a few marriages, one or two babies and some scandals ensued. Imagine a never-ending Blind Date - sounds like hell but the editing makes it hilarious, and the places they visit are always interesting.
