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.
No thanks, I don't want to gain weight
but I want a lot of kakimochi, too!

Nein danke! Ich will zwar nicht zunehmen,
aber ich möchte auch ganz viele Kakimochi futtern.
No, no. Es cierto

No, no. Es cierto

Нет-нет, я не хочу набрать вес,
но я хочу много какимоти!
