Kosaka plays Mika Watanabe, who started a production company just before turning 60 after working in the publishing industry. She is good at her job, stylish, and someone Chiaki looks up to.
Chiaki meets Mika again for the first time in a long time at the TV station where she works. Mika says to Chiaki, "I watch your work all the time. I love your work! That drama, 'Sarezuma Doumei' (the drama Chiaki is in charge of), is the best," which makes Chiaki happy.
When asked, "You're retiring next year, right? What are you going to do?", Chiaki revealed that no one has offered to hire her yet. "You're lying! What a waste! There are so many people in this industry who don't get it. You could do a good job, for sure," her senior told her, and Chiaki became pleased.
Mika, who quit her job one year before the retirement age and started her own company, said, "I gathered people like me who have the talent and ability but are being forced into retirement for no reason, and started a production company. Today, we are having a planning meeting." She added, "If someone like Chiaki joined us, we would be even better."
Kosaka started modeling at the age of 3, and became popular at the age of 12 as the mascot girl for "Kinchan's Don to Yatte Miyo!" (1975-1980, same station). In 1977, she made her debut as a singer with "Ai no Mehae" and went on to have a wide range of careers as an actress and TV personality.
On social media, she attracted attention with comments such as, "Kousaka Miyuki is as beautiful as ever!", "Kousaka Miyuki is a devastating beauty", "It's been a while since I saw Kousaka Miyuki, and she has aged beautifully. She looks so cool. I might try to copy her hairstyle", "Kousaka Miyuki! So young! So cute!" and "Kousaka Miyuki is 62 years old! It's been a while since I saw her, but I was amazed at how beautiful she is. Kyon-Kyon is still cute at 59, and former idols are amazing after all."
