==Synopsis==
The 5th NHK Yorudora is ''Shourou nagashi.''  This is a term that refers to floating lanterns that are sent down the river during [[Wikipedia:Obon|O-bon]] to honor deceased loved ones.

It's the summer of 1982.  Singer-songwriter Sakurai Masahiko returns home to Nagasaki so he can participate in sending off the floating lanterns during O-bon.  It's the first O-bon since his beloved aunt, Setsuko, has died.  Before the festival, Masahiko is approached for an interview with a magazine, which makes him remember all of his happiest memories, and all of his most bittersweet ones as well.  This is a heart-warming tale of love, life and death and the memories all of those leave with us.
