==Synopsis==
Like the opera, the story is set in Nagasaki in the early 1900s. It portrays the ups and downs of a young woman known as Butterfly, who lost her parents at a young age and has become an apprentice geisha. She later meets a naval officer and gets married, though the officer intends for the marriage to last only while he is stationed in Nagasaki. -- ''[http://www.tokyograph.com/news/miyazaki-aoi-to-star-as-madame-butterfly-in-drama-special Tokyograph]''
