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.
It's too hard to break apart at once.
إنّها قاسية جدّاً على التكسير دُفعة واحدة
Sie sind so hart,
dass sie nicht auf einmal kaputtgehen.
Es difícil partirlos de una sola vez.
Partirlos de un golpe es complicado,
En un coup, ce n’est pas évident.
È troppo duro per essere fatto in pezzi 
con un colpo solo.
Se quiser quebrar de
uma vez é difícil mesmo.
Сразу разломать сложно.
