Miyajimacho - IMVU Hanamachi

Maiko Umeyuu is now wearing the Osafune hairstyle, in preparation for her becoming a geiko! There's only a short time still to meet her as a maiko!

Big news in Miyajimacho! Maiko Umeyuu is wearing Oshun hairstyle in preparation for her sakkou period and erikae ceremony! Miyajimacho will soon gain a new geiko!

At this year's Fuji hanamikai, senior maiko Umeyuu danced Rokudan Kuzushi, and our newcomer maiko Fumikiyo danced Gion Kouta. It was her first time performing at Hanamikai, since she debuted in December. Would you like to try your hand at becoming a maiko too?

Miyajimacho's most senior maiko, Umeyuu, gave a heartfelt performance of Rokudan kuzushi at this year's Fuji hanamikai! Doesn't she look wonderful among the wisteria branches?

Our maiko performed a visually stunning piece 'Ehikasa', that involved dancing on stage with parasols. For the second act, geiko Ayachiyo participated by dancing a complex masculine role in 'Suisen Tanzen'. Lastly, all the geiko and maiko performed the grand finale 'Hanakurabe'!

Our annual spring dance RP event is taking place tonight! Guests are welcome 🌸

Hello and thank you for your interest! To join the RP, you don't need to own any items right away, but you can amass some credits for free over time doing tasks like Peer review and Daily spin, and of course you can buy credits later on. No one is expected to buy many items at once, as the initial focus for the RP is having an interview and slowly starting with lessons. Feel free to reach out here or @Katsurei on imvu if you have more questions about our group!
