The car-loving comedy duo "Ogiyahagi" delves into the "car history" of their guests on "Ogiyahagi's Car History NO CAR, NO LIFE!" (BS Nippon TV, Saturday 9pm). The September 13th broadcast will be a re-broadcast of the episode that was aired last February, in which enka singer Miyuki Kawanaka appeared as a guest.
Kawanaka's involvement with cars began when her mother obtained her driver's license after her father was involved in an accident.

From then on, he stuck to Japanese cars, but in his 30s, for some reason, he switched to a German BMW, and in his 40s, he liked two-seaters that could also be used as convertibles, and he drove two Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class cars. However, he says that he only ever used the convertibles twice.
