Fantastic video, great quality! Thanks so much for uploading :)
The geiko in blue/green is indeed Komomo, the geiko in yellow is Toshihana, the maiko in yellow is Toshichika and the maiko in pink is Toshiteru. The geiko playing the shamisen is Suzuchiyo.
@chanhym These two maiko are both the official little sisters of Toshihana, the other geiko in this video. Komomo is the older sister to maiko Kofuku, but she did not attend this event.
wah~really!Komomo is the Geisha made me really interested in Geisha culture!i like that she lived in different places and could speak different language~her vid in New York is cool~
Ahhh, Toshihana is the one on the left. I recognize the obi and her kimono. I cannot make out the other geiko. They are from Miyagawacho. I have a video of a Gion Kobu geiko performing their version of this dance with the same song.
Is it just me, or is the audience talking in background really annoying and distracting? Do people usually do that when geiko and maiko perform?

As far as I know, no. Komomo is from another okiya. The Toshi girls are from the Komoya okiya.

The girl in the green kimono should be Komomo (子桃) if I remember her name correctly

Komomo? Wow. You got to see some amazing geiko that evening. Komomo wrote a book and it was very interesting to read
