I have a little sky-blue Miyata (which I'm planning on painting soon).
It's got Japanese all over it, but I bought it here (in Canada) last year.
The stock seat was comfy enough, but the seatpost was way too short. So
I bought a Norco seat and a super long BMX seatpost. Works well.

The Norco seat is black on black with chrome guard tubing front and rear.
Also available in black with white trim.

I'm not exactly sure why I'm replying, now that I think about it! I
can't offer you a red Miyata seat. Only a sky-blue and white one.

But perhaps you can find a bicycle dealer who can bring in Miyata stuff
like I did. I actually wasn't even looking specifically for my Miyata;
I just stumbled across it.
