January 7 is the first workday of the new year in Kagai. The Maiko House girls are rushing about, preparing for the beginning of work. Sumire has her hair put up, gives Mother a personal New Year's greeting, and gets dressed in a formal black crested kimono worn on celebratory occasions. In the kitchen, Kiyo prepares a special breakfast for this important day, but the maiko must take particular care when eating it.
Well done on being maiko again
after the long break.
أحسنتما صنعاً في عملكما كمايكو من جديد
بعد الاستراحة الطويلة
Ihr habt euch nach der
langen Pause gut geschlagen.
Buen trabajo.
Buen trabajo.
Beau travail, les filles.
Ben fatto!
Bom trabalho. Fazia tanto tempo
que não as via vestidas de maiko.
Молодцы, что снова стали майко
после долгого перерыва!
