What are the minarai, maiko, and Geiko forecasts this year?
I can't forecast for the entire year, but I can until the half way point, notably: Gion Kobu is going to have SEVEN misedashi in May! The girls who will be debuting will be performing the tea ceremony at the Miyako Odori. There will be 2 from Odamoto (小田本), 2 from Tsurui (つる居), 1 from Ninben (亻), 1 from Nomura (野村), and 1 from Nishimura (西村). As for known erikae, the only ones that I know will happen 100% at this point are Asuha (明日葉) of Tama (多麻) and Erika (恵里佳) of Tsurui (つる居) in May. Others who will be having their erikae at some point this year include: Toshiryō (とし涼) of Komaya (駒家), Tomieri (富瑛梨) of Tomikiku (富菊) (likely in May as well), Kokinu (小絹) of Hiroshimaya (廣島屋), Kozakura (小桜) of Hiroshimaya (廣島屋), Hisano (寿乃) of Fukushima (福嶋), and Hidesaki (秀咲季) of Masamiya (雅美家) ^^
