Mizuki Akiyama's 5th focus event from the game Project Sekai Colorful Stage Featuring Hatsune Miku, which had a huge impact on the internet when it came out (even reaching people outside of the fandom who knew nothing about it).

Get the Mizu5 mug.Mizu5 is the fifth event that focuses on Mizuki Akiyama (aka Amia), a heavily implied transfem character from the rythm game Project Sekai ft. Hatsune Miku. Mizuki is canonically refered to as they/she. In this event, Mizuki is finally ready to reveal their secret (that they are transfem) to her bandmate Ena Shinonome. Unfortunately, Ena runs into some of Mizuki's bullies and classmates that refer to Mizuki as a boy. They also ask Ena if she's a boy as well. Ena then understands what they're talking about, but Mizuki heard everything. After this, they apologize to Ena before running away. The song that came out with this event is Ghost Flower (化けの花 in Japanese, Bake no Hana in romanji). It was produced by Nakiso, and is sung by Ena Shinonome, Mafuyu Asahina, Kanade Yoisaki, the vocaloid KAITO, and of course Mizuki Akiyama.

Get the Mizu5 mug.Most people believe that the mizuage is a coming-of-age ceremony for a Maiko (an apprentice Geisha). The Maiko would find many interested and wealthy buyers to bid on her virginity so the Maiko could fully become a Geisha. However, this is a common misconception of the ceremony. The pleasure district of Japan used this as means to increase their monetary accounts, soiling the name of a Geisha to a High-class Prostitute/Courtesan.
Mineko Iwasaki revealed her life as a Geisha in her book, Geisha, A Life. As intereviewed by thephoenix.com, Iwasaki separates the myth and fact of the mizuage.
Q: Talk to me about the mizuage ceremony. What is it, and why is there so much confusion about it?
A: This again goes back to the separation between the pleasure quarter and the entertainment quarter. Mizuage is really a coming-of-age ceremony, and apparently there was some selling of the virginity that went on in association with that ritual ceremony in the pleasure district a long time ago. However, that has never been true for the geisha. For the geisha, it was simply when they were becoming a young woman, similar to a sweet 16 in the West, and it was symbolized by the change in hairstyle, into a more womanly, grown-up hairstyle. And also certain subtle changes in the ensembles. There are a lot of rites of passage, but for some reason this one has been really latched on by people, and maybe it’s because of this misunderstanding.
Also, it is true that as with many of the rituals and rites of passage, once one has become a maiko geisha-in-training, or a geiko, it’s very expensive, because every time you go through an entire change of kimono, for example, or of hairstyle and you need different hair ornaments, these are expensive things. For me, I was the successor to the house, the atotori, so there was no question that the money was there to provide this. But if someone is coming from the outside and training, as basically someone who is there under contract, it is expensive, and sometimes they do ask their patrons to help pay for the cost involved in making the transition.

Q: But their virginity isn’t offered in exchange for that help?
A: That is never on the table. There is one other potential source of confusion, and that is with the word "mizuage" itself. In the Gion, the geisha district, and in many areas of the entertainment industry, "mizuage" is also a term that directly means "gross earnings," because it’s an old fishing term; as you may know, Japan was dependent on fishing for one of its main economic bases for many years. "Mizuage" means "to take out of the water." It stood for the catch. "What was your catch?" — "How much money did you make from the water?" So when I refer to mizuage, I’m actually referring to my earnings, rather than the ceremony itself.
