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.
I'll make small batches
so you don't gain weight, Tsurukoma.
سأعدّ قطعاً صغيرة وذلك كي لا تسمني يا تسوروكوما
Ich mache immer nur kleine Portionen,
damit du nicht an Gewicht zulegst, Tsurukoma.
así que los prepararé poco a poco
para que Tsurukoma no coma demasiado.
así que los prepararé poco a poco
para que Tsurukoma no coma muchos.
J’en ferai par petites fournées
pour toi, Tsurukoma.
Li farò pochi per volta 
così non ingrasserai, Tsurukoma.
Vou fazer aos poucos para a
Tsurukoma-san não comer demais.
Цурукома, я буду делать маленькие
порции, чтобы ты не набрала вес.
