    Me, neither.
[01:34] Maiko B
    Me, neither.
[01:35] Maiko C
    Me, neither.

    Chapter 4 For Sleepless Nights
[01:43] Sumire Narr
    Struggling to sleep…
    how miserable!
[01:46] Kiyo
    I can’t wait!
[01:49] Kiyo
    You’ll look so pretty with your hair up.
[01:57] Sumire
    I’m going now.
[01:59] Kiyo
    Bye!
[02:01] Narr
    A maiko’s bun is styled with her own hair.
[02:05] Narr
    Her hair is undone and washed once a week.
[02:07] Narr
    It is only when her bun is restyled.
[02:09] Narr
    That is also the only time she uses shampoo.
[02:13] Narr
    A maiko spends all day and night
    with her hair up throughout her career.
[02:18] ---
    Beauty Parlor
[02:37] Sumire
    I’m ready.
[02:39] Sumire
    Please go ahead.
[02:44] Tsurukoma
    Kiyo, I’m so hungry.
[02:47] Kiyo
    I’m making supper now.
[02:49] Tsurukoma & Maiko D
    Yes!
[02:50] Tsurukoma
    Is this supper?
[02:56] Tsurukoma
    Rice porridge for supper?
[02:59] Maiko D
    I know it won’t be enough for me.
[03:02] Kiyo
    Oh, that’s not supper.
[03:07] Sumire
    May I enter, Mother?
[03:10] Mother/Sumire
    Yes, Sumire.
[03:12] Mother/Sumire
    
    - Thank you.
[03:27] Mother
    From today, you are
    a senior apprentice.
[03:30] Mother
    Learn well from your mentor sister
    for your debut.
[03:34] Sumire
    Thank you, Mother.
    I’ll do my best.
[03:42] Tsurukoma
    She’s here!
[03:43] Maiko E
    Her hair’s up!
[03:45] Maiko D
    Wow, nice! Looks good!
[03:47] Kiyo
    Wow! Sumire!
[03:49] Kiyo
    Wow.
[03:51] Kiyo
    Wow. Wow!
[03:53] Kiyo
    You’re so beautiful!
[03:57] Sumire
    Thanks…
[03:59] Maiko D
    Wow, it’s really lovely.
[04:01] Maiko
    You look so natural in a bun.
[04:04] Maiko F
    What’s in the pot?
[04:06] Kiyo
    Oh, right!
[04:07] Kiyo
    Hurry, hurry!
[04:22] Kiyo
    Great!
[04:26] Sumire
    Sister, I’m done bathing.
[04:30] Maiko G
    How was it?
[04:31] Sumire
    I managed to keep my bun.
[04:34] Maiko
    Ooh!
[04:35] Maiko G
    Right! I have something for you.
[04:38] Maiko G
    This is your new pillow.
[04:40] Sumire
    What?!
[04:43] Narr
    A maiko sleeps on a pillow with
    a wood base to protect her hairstyle.
[04:50] Maiko G
    You can do this.
[04:52] Maiko D
    We’ve all been through it.
[04:55] Tsurukoma
    Just bear it.
[04:57] Maiko G
    Poor girl.
[04:58] Tsurukoma
    Don’t cry, Sister.
[05:08] Sumire
    It’s too high to breathe.
    My body keeps slipping.
[05:13] Sumire
    My neck is bent.
    My stomach and elbows hurt, too.
[05:18] Sumire
    My cheeks are numb
    under the weight of my head.
[05:23] Sumire
    And my head feels so unstable!
[05:27] Sumire
    I can’t sleep!
[05:31] Sumire
    This is tougher than I thought.
[05:36] Sumire
    But I’m not giving up!
[05:45] Sumire
    I give up.
[05:48] Sumire
    What to do?
[05:54] Sumire
    Kiyo?
[05:55] Kiyo
    I knew it!
[05:58] Kiyo
    It’ll be ready in no time.
[06:03] Kiyo
    Everyone says sleep is
    impossible the first night.
[06:06] Kiyo
    So, I prepared something.
[06:09] ---
    Amazake
    (Drink made by fermenting
    rice and koji mold.
    Sweet as sugar.)
[06:11] Sumire
    Amazake!
[06:14] Kiyo
    A warm belly may help you sleep.
[06:23] Sumire
    Thanks, Kiyo.

    Dish of the Day
[06:45] ---
    Dish of the Day
[06:48] Kiyo
    Today’s dish is amazake.
[06:50] Kiyo
    It warms your body on cold days.
[06:53] Sumire
    I always got some
    at the shrine on New Year’s.
[06:57] Sumire
    I like it, but some people
    find the flavor too unique.
[07:03] Kiyo
    Amazake is made from
    sake lees or rice koji mold.
[07:09] Kiyo
    The taste and flavor are so different.
[07:12] Sumire
    Mm hm.
[07:13] Sumire
    They are made differently, too.
[07:18] Sumire
    So…
[07:19] Sumire
    "Sake lees are dissolved in water."
[07:23] Sumire
    "Then it is seasoned with sugar."
[07:27] Sumire
    "Sake lees have slight traces
    of alcohol from the Japanese sake."
[07:27] ---
    Sake lees
[07:32] Sumire
    "To make the other kind, koji mold
    is used to ferment steamed rice."
[07:34] ---
    Rice koji mold
[07:39] Sumire
    "So, it doesn’t contain alcohol."
[07:42] Sumire
    "It’s naturally sweet,
    smooth and easy to drink."
[07:47] Kiyo
    Some people only like amazake
    made with rice koji mold.
[07:53] Kiyo
    Did you know you can make it
    at home with koji mold?
[07:58] Sumire
    I heard you were simmering rice, Kiyo.
[08:03] Sumire
    You used it for amazake!
[08:07] Kiyo
    I put the pot under a blanket with
    a hot water bottle for fermentation.
[08:14] Sumire
    You can also put the pot
    in a styrofoam box.
[08:21] Sumire
    "Styrofoam retains heat well."
[08:24] Sumire
    "It is ideal for keeping
    temperature constant."
[08:28] Kiyo
    There are many kinds of amazake.
[08:31] Kiyo
    Homemade and available
    in stores, also.
[08:35] Kiyo
    Tasting them to find a favorite
    would be fun.

[09:19] Kiyo
    Great!
[09:20] Sumire
    Kiyo, I’ll help you serve.
[09:24] Kiyo
    Sumire! Thanks!
[09:27] Sumire
    I can’t relax sitting, anyway.
[09:32] Sumire
    Mother wants to see me
    after we eat.
[09:36] Kiyo/Sumire
    What happened?
[09:37] Kiyo/Sumire
    Nothing.
[09:39] Sumire
    I’m finding out my maiko name.
[09:44] ---
    Maiko Debut
[09:45] Narr
    A debuting maiko receives a name
[09:48] Narr
    from her House mother
    for her formal introduction.
[09:53] ---
    The name could take a character
    from her mentor’s name
[09:58] ---
    or divined at a shrine.
[10:02] Narr
    She will live her Kagai days
    with this name.
[10:07] Kiyo
    Ah, wait!
[10:10] Kiyo
    Take this, too.
[10:12] Kiyo
    Honey instead of maple syrup,
    just for you.
[10:16] Sumire
    Honey absolutely goes
    best with hotcakes.
[10:21] Kiyo
    You’ve said so since we were kids.
[10:25] Sumire
    It’s my commitment for life.
[10:51] Teacher
    Next.
[10:53] Sumire
    Yes!
[10:55] Sumire
    My name is Sumire.
[10:58] Sumire
    It’s the word for violets.
[11:01] Sumire
    In floral language,
    it means to be faithful.
[11:05] Teacher
    Thank you.
[11:07] Teacher
    Next.
[11:15] Sumire
    I don’t like the name Sumire.
[11:18] Kiyo
    But it’s perfect for you.
[11:21] Sumire
    Exactly!
[11:23] Sumire
    A lovelier name may have
    made me a lovelier person.
[11:30] Sumire
    Kiyo means pure heart.
[11:33] Sumire
    Kenta means healthy body.
[11:35] Sumire
    Don’t you want more?
[11:39] Kenta
    Who cares about names?
[11:45] Sumire
    I don’t get it.
[11:53] Sensei
    There! Lower your backside.
[11:56] Sensei
    Yes.
[11:58] Senseei
    That’s good.
[12:00] Sensei
    You’ve improved, Momohana.
[12:03] Sumire
    Thank you, Sensei.
[12:09] Sensei
    Mother Matsu, Sumire is
    even more brilliant as Momohana.
[12:15] Mother
    She is.
[12:17] Mother
    I see slight changes
    in her daily behaviors, too.
[12:22] Mother
    She has embraced her new name.
[12:29] Tsurukoma
    Kiyo, we’ll help serve.
[12:32] Kiyo
    Thanks!
[12:33] Kiyo
    This tray, please.
[12:35] Kiyo
    Can you take the other, Sumire?
[12:38] Sumire
    Okay.
[12:39] Tsurukoma
    Come on Kiyo,
    she’s Momohana now!
[12:44] Tsurukoma
    No one else in Kagai
    calls her Sumire.
[12:48] Tsurukoma
    Everyone’s praising her
    for growing into Momohana.
[12:54] Kiyo
    Sorry.
[12:56] Tsurukoma
    I’ll take this now.
[12:58] Kiyo
    Thanks!
[13:00] Kiyo
    Wait! This, too!
[13:04] Kiyo
    Honey for hotcakes.
[13:12] Sumire
    It’s my commitment for life.

    Dish of the Day
[13:36] Kiyo
    Hotcakes are tasty and easy to make.
[13:40] Kiyo
    If you don’t have hotcake mix,
    just use flour.
[13:45] Kiyo
    You’ll need flour, eggs, milk,
    sugar and baking powder.
[13:50] Kiyo
    Add vanilla essence if you wish,
    and simply bake in a frying pan.
[13:55] Sumire
    I like them hot off the stove.
[13:59] Sumire
    With some butter and plenty of honey.
[14:04] Kiyo
    Most of the girls here
    like maple syrup.
[14:07] Kiyo
    But you always prefer honey, right?
[14:11] Sumire
    It’s my commitment for life.
[14:15] Kiyo
    So, Sumire.
[14:16] Kiyo
    I’ve had a pressing question
    about hotcakes.
[14:22] Sumire
    Yes, what is it, Kiyo?
[14:25] Kiyo
    Are hotcakes and pancakes different?
[14:28] Sumire
    That’s a tricky one.
[14:32] Sumire
    Are hotcakes thick
    and pancakes thin?
[14:33] ---
    Thickness
[14:37] Kiyo
    But some places serve
    fluffy thick pancakes.
[14:41] Sumire
    Maybe pancakes have fruit
    or whipped cream on them?
[14:43] ---
    Toppings
[14:45] Sumire
    And hotcakes topped
    with syrup only?
[14:48] Kiyo
    But some pancakes
    have no toppings.
[14:51] Sumire
    True. Let’s look it up as usual.
[14:56] Tsurukoma
    Haha, you seem puzzled.
[15:00] Sumire
    Oh, Tsurukoma Sister.
[15:02] Tsurukoma
    I, Tsurukoma, senior maiko
    of the House will answer!
[15:07] Tsurukoma
    Hotcakes are a sweet snack.
    Pancakes are more like a meal.
[15:15] Tsurukoma
    I guess.
[15:16] Sumire
    You know everything, Tsurukoma!
[15:20] Tsurukoma
    Well, don’t stop there.
    Ask me anything!
[15:25] Mother
    Pancakes and hotcakes are the same.
[15:28] Tsurukoma
    Eh?
[15:30] Mother
    "Any cake baked in
    a flat-bottomed pan is a pancake."
[15:35] Mother
    "So, hotcakes are
    the same as pancakes."
[15:39] Kiyo
    Oh!
[15:40] Sumire
    Of course, Mother knows.
[15:42] Tsurukoma
    That reminds me, I better go!
[15:46] Tsurukoma
    Bye now!
[15:47] Kiyo
    She’s fled.
[15:48] Sumire
    Only Tsurukoma can
    misunderstand and be so confident.

    Chapter 6 Snowy Day Reminiscence
[16:35] Sumire
    Kiyo?
[16:37] Sumire
    Morning.
[16:39] Kiyo
    Morning. You’re up early, Sumire.
[16:42] Kiyo
    I mean, Momohana.
[16:44] Sumire
    Your snow shoveling woke me up.
[16:47] Kiyo
    Oops.
[16:48] Sumire
    It made me so happy, I got up.
[16:55] Sumire
    I’ll help you.
[16:56] Kiyo
    Great, thanks!
[16:59] Sumire
    Oh?
[17:03] Sumire
    This shovel won’t do.
[17:07] Kiyo
    I’m almost done, anyway.
[17:11] Kiyo
    Why don’t you stay warm inside?
[17:14] Sumire
    Okay.
[17:22] Sumire
    Kiyo?
[17:25] Sumire
    Can I stay and watch?
[17:28] Kiyo
    Um, sure.
[18:56] Kiyo
    Sumire!
[18:59] Kiyo
    I mean, Momohana.
[19:01] Kiyo
    I’m done.
[19:17] Sumire
    Sorry.
[19:18] Sumire
    I lost track where I was
    listening to you shovel snow.
[19:26] Sumire
    It sounded the same as in Aomori.
[19:30] Sumire
    Your sound, Kiyo.
[19:32] Kiyo
    Of course.
[19:41] Sumire
    Right, of course.
[20:03] Sumire
    What’s for breakfast?
[20:05] Kiyo
    A snowy morning
    could only mean one thing.
[20:09] Kiyo
    You know…
[20:12] Kiyo & Sumire
    Wheat dumplings!
[20:14] Kiyo
    Great! I’ll need your help today, Sumire.
[20:18] Sumire
    Alright.
[20:19] Kiyo
    Sorry, I meant Momohana.
[20:28] Sumire
    You can keep calling me Sumire.
[20:31] Kiyo
    Really?
[20:32] Sumire
    Really.

    Dish of the Day
[20:59] Tsurukoma
    Ah, I can’t stand the snow and cold!
[21:03] Tsurukoma
    I’m never leaving the foot warmer!
[21:06] Sumire
    On cold days, it’s best to heat the body
    from the inside with warm broth.
[21:12] Tsurukoma
    Yes, drinking hot soup
    on cold days is so soothing.
[21:17] Tsurukoma
    So, what was the warm soup
    we had for breakfast today?
[21:23] Sumire
    Hittsumi, wheat dumpling soup.
[21:26] Sumire
    Kiyo and I always had it
    after shoveling snow.
[21:31] Sumire
    Shoveling Aomori’s heavy snow
    is hard work.
[21:35] Sumire
    You’re exhausted
    and chilled to the bone.
[21:40] Sumire
    Homemade Hittsumi soup
    warms the body and spirit.
[21:46] Sumire
    The taste has memories
    of snowy days for me and Kiyo.
[21:52] Tsurukoma
    Taste with memories… I like that.
[21:57] Tsurukoma
    I’ve never had it before,
    but it tasted familiar.
[22:03] Tsurukoma
    The white chewy things in the soup.
[22:07] Tsurukoma
    I think I’ve had them before.
[22:11] Tsurukoma
    What were those?
[22:13] Sumire
    That’s the hittsumi.
[22:15] Sumire
    Hittsumi are torn up and boiled
    pieces of kneaded flour and water.
[22:22] Tsurukoma
    So, kneaded flour with water.
[22:24] Tsurukoma
    A-ha! Like suiton dumplings!
[22:27] Tsurukoma
    No wonder I knew
    that smooth chewy texture.
[22:32] Sumire
    What’s suiton?
[22:34] Tsurukoma
    You must know suiton!
[22:37] Tsurukoma
    The soup with the
    chewy white things.
[22:40] Sumire
    No, that’s hittsumi.
[22:43] Tsurukoma
    I remember now!
[22:46] Tsurukoma
    There are regional foods
    like suiton all over Japan.
[22:50] Tsurukoma
    Each one has a different name.
[22:53] Sumire
    Maybe it’s called suiton
    in your hometown, Tsurukoma.
[22:58] Sumire
    But we call it hittsumi back home.
[23:01] Kiyo
    That’s so interesting!
[23:05] Tsurukoma
    Mmhm.
[23:06] Tsurukoma
