Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, a special performance was held in Kyoto city where the maikos of the Kagai of Kyoto, who had lost the opportunity to perform, performed in Kyoto, and the newcomers performed their dances.

On the 23rd, 25 new maiko from five flower districts in Kyoto gathered and performed at the Pontocho Kaburenjo in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto.
The maikos wore colorful kimonos and danced to the songs, and the crowd gathered to see the dance.
The venue had a certain space between seats to prevent infection, the audience was limited to half the capacity, and the performance was broadcast live online.
Maiko Hidefumi, who said that the 23rd was the first stage, said, "I was very nervous, but I was able to stand on the stage and study."
Another Maiko, Ichisai, said, "When I learned that the spring and autumn dances were canceled, I was lonely and regrettable, but I am very grateful to be on the dream stage." ..
