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.
Looking forward to your delicious dishes
is the best motivation!
!التطلّع قُدماً لأطباقكِ الشهيّة هو أفضل حافز
Die Aussicht auf deine köstlichen Gerichte
motivieren mich am meisten!
El solo pensar en que podré comer
tus deliciosos platillos, me motiva.
Con pensar en lo rico que está lo que
nos preparas, me motivo un montón.
Savoir que je vais manger
tes bons petits plats,
Mi basta pensare a tutti i piatti deliziosi 
che preparerai per sentirmi subito carica!
Só de pensar que poderei comer sua
comida deliciosa, fico muito motivada!
Киё, я с нетерпением жду
твоих вкусных блюд!
