She is often seen stating her opinions very strongly on Japanese TV shows. Some of her views may be taken as conservative. She has repeatedly made very traditionalist statements on women in the family, stating that a woman's main function should be to support her husband's career.
Her judgment on the matter of fortune telling is usually based on the Rokusei Senjutsu, the approximation of Four Pillars of Destiny.
Ms. Hosoki retains a residence in the Arashiyama area of Kyoto City.
