Author Yoko Kamio watched one of the voice acting sessions. She was impressed with Miyashita when he had Yuta Mochizuki hold him back in order for a scene to sound right.[5]
Miyashita participated with Kamio, Mochida, Koji Yamamoto, and Tomohiko Kikuta in an audience preview of the Boys Over Flowers anime in 1996.[6]
In 1997, Kamio had lunch with him, Mochida, and Yamamoto. The three "[got] along so well" that the author felt it was "like watching Tsukushi, Tsukasa, and Rui interacting." Kamio also described Miyashita as the "leader type" and like someone out of a shojo manga.[7]
Miyashita, Mochida, and Yamamoto were interviewed together for the 2006 anime DVD release.[8]
