Hatsune (初音).

On New Year`s morning, Genji visits the women of his palace: he once again declares his unconditional love for Murasaki, finds the Princess of Akashi playing with the children, and enjoys pleasant company with the Lady of the Village of Falling Flowers. Later, he spends the night with the Lady of Akashi, causing Murasaki to become jealous. The following day, during a New Year`s reception, the ladies can only hear distant echoes of the songs from their rooms. Genji also visits Suetsumuhana, finding her dull as always but ensuring that she lives in comfort. Finally, he extends his New Year`s greetings to Utsusemi, who has become a nun, lamenting her decision to leave the world behind. The celebrations conclude with a New Year`s pantomime, during which Yugiri stands out as a musician, making his father proud of his many talents.
