ANIMAL CRUELTY
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[!] beeping sound of the radio as you click, the rich timbre of Miume's voice from the radio filled the space [!]
"Good day, Karakura City. Miume Inori here speaking yet again with another issue that needs to be discussed!
Before we dig deep into this... I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!"
[!] Miume Inori continues speaking through the audio [!]
In Karakura City, we have recently witnessed such saddening scenes that are rarely discussed, such as animal cruelty and abuse. People around here, especially young people, often get away with this type of behavior. Even old people seem to be joining in this act of cruelty towards animals. We can say, however, that ma many of the citizens in Karakura inflict physical and verbal abuse on animals.
What kinds of animals are most likely to be affected by this? Let's be honest, it happens to all animals equally. However, the data in Karakura reveals that cats face a higher risk, approximately 67%, of experiencing abuse compared to dogs, with a difference of 35%. Reports from Karakura indicate a concerning surge in abuse cases since 2021, which is undeniably saddening. Let us also consider the welfare of birds and foxes, despite their ability to protect themselves to some extent. Birds, classified as small mammals, might be more vulnerable to mistreatment when kept as pets in living conditions around the city here.
Animal abuse continues to persist in many forms, and in Karakura, neglect remains a prevalent and distressing issue. Animals endure the pain of physical abuse, subjected to random kicks and hits by individuals. Additionally, abandonment is all too common, leaving animals to suffer in distressing circumstances. Moreover, the grim reality of animal fighting cannot be ignored, with dogs often coerced into battling each other in certain areas of Karakura. It's evident that there is a pressing need to address these alarming acts of cruelty and work towards creating a safer and more compassionate environment for our dear animals of Karakura.
Isn’t it truly heart-wrenching news? It’s crucial for us to give more attention to this subject. We must raise awareness about animal issues and offer our support in any way possible. Fortunately, we have the law on our side to provide better production for animals, and we are grateful for the presence of the Karakura Police Department, which will assist whenever there is a case of animal abuse or similar incidents. However, this selfish behavior needs to cease immediately, as it has gone too far. Finally, as citizens, it is our responsibility to come together, show compassion, and offer support in addressing the significant issues and challenges that continues to arise in Karakura.
All right, then! Our report for today has come to an end, and I hope everyone enjoyed it. Miume Inori was once again on the line! I hope to see you all tune in to the next report.

"Wow! You're all over Karakura, it appears that you're trending #1 on Karakura! Can you tell me about yourself?"
Honami:
"It was unbelievable to me when I first saw it! Thanks to everyone who stays on top of my new items. Ah, yes! My full name is Honami Tsugami, I am one of Tokyo's designers, and I am 30 years old."
Miume:
"Pleasure meeting you! Now, What was your motivation for being a fashion designer? can you tell us about it?"
Honami:
"There is no end to what I could say about this! It has been my passion to be involved in fashion and clothing since I was eight years old. As someone who is passionate about creative expression, I find it fascinating to turn my sketches into designs while using fabrics, I have always felt motivated by it!"
Miume:
"Very interesting! The news is full of coverage about your brand EXTRA. In your opinion, how do you stay up to date on the latest fashion trends?"
Honami:
"As a fashion enthusiast, I was always attending fashion events as a first step! Moreover, it's important to subscribe to fashion magazines, websites, and blogs. It is also essential to keep up with the latest trends on social media."
Miume:
"Your point is well taken! Your steps are very helpful, do you feel social media is useful in pursuing this career?"
Honami:
"Nowadays, it's actually quite useful, I would say, but I'm enjoying using it! My experience with social media is very positive, I keep up with the latest trends through it."
Miume:
"The popularity of social media has skyrocketed lately, I agree! All right, then."
Miume:

Miume:
"Can you tell us a little bit about your educational background?"
Honami:
"For sure! Well, during my time at Kyoto University, I studied fashion design, and I also had a minor in marketing. I have also participated in fashion online courses and programs, and have worked on improving myself during my time in college!"
Miume:
"Wow, that's quite interesting! Those are the moments when you realize that you are capable of achieving anything by yourself"
Miume:
"In any case, what do you think are the primary duties of a fashion designer from your perspective?
Honami:
"Yes, there are a number of duties that I could discuss. Nevertheless, the main duties require researching trends, sketching designs, and choosing fabrics and trims, which is probably the most enjoyable part!"
Miume:
"I find your description of fashion to be enjoyable! Is there anything you dislike about fashion designers or the industry that you can share with us?"
Honami:
"Certainly there are, among them is the wasteful aspect of throwing away a design when the designer gets the wrong outcome of the sketch. The process itself takes a lot of time and energy, so it can be quite draining!"
Miume:
"There is no doubt that it takes hard work! The disadvantages must be numerous, but what about the advantages?"
Honami:
"The truth is we travel a lot to do fashion shows and events, so that is something I enjoy and I feel very confident when I am able to share my designs all over the world, especially Karakura!"
Miume:
"Glad to hear it's going well for you, though we know how hard it can be when you succeed at something you have inspired to become!"
Miume:
"Now, we all know that there's a bunch of negativity in today's community. How do you respond to criticism from people?"
Honami:
"The bottom line is that I always listen to them and make sure they're on the same page, but when they're going too far, that's when I decide to step out and avoid it as much as possible!"
Miume:
"You are absolutely correct. Never listen to people who put negative thoughts in your life, they will only let you down."
Miume:
"I would like to ask you now, since we are at the end of our interview, what are the most important skills that someone should possess in order to be a successful fashion designer? "
Honami:
"Yes! I believe the most important skill is having an open mind, a strong sense of creativity, and artistic vision. As well as communication skills, since you'll be staying in touch with a lot of customers, clients, and other designers."
Miume:

"Your point is well taken! Your steps are very helpful, do you feel social media is useful in pursuing this career?"
Honami:
"Nowadays, it's actually quite useful, I would say, but I'm enjoying using it! My experience with social media is very positive, I keep up with the latest trends through it."

"The popularity of social media has skyrocketed lately, I agree! All right, then."
Miume:
"Moving on to the next question! What type of pattern do you like working with the most?"

"Oh right! There are so many patterns to choose from, floral patterns are among the most popular. It's a pleasure to work with pastel colors like navy blue and lilac, It's among the colors that youngsters are seeking."
Miume:
"Interesting! All right, I will ask a variety of questions now. "
Miume:
"Can you tell us a little bit about your educational background?"
Honami:

Miume:
"Wow, that's quite interesting! Those are the moments when you realize that you are capable of achieving anything by yourself"
Miume:
"In any case, what do you think are the primary duties of a fashion designer from your perspective?
Honami:
"Yes, there are a number of duties that I could discuss. Nevertheless, the main duties require researching trends, sketching designs, and choosing fabrics and trims, which is probably the most enjoyable part!"
Miume:
"I find your description of fashion to be enjoyable! Is there anything you dislike about fashion designers or the industry that you can share with us?"
Honami:
"Certainly there are, among them is the wasteful aspect of throwing away a design when the designer gets the wrong outcome of the sketch. The process itself takes a lot of time and energy, so it can be quite draining!"
Miume:
"There is no doubt that it takes hard work! The disadvantages must be numerous, but what about the advantages?"

Miume:
"Glad to hear it's going well for you, though we know how hard it can be when you succeed at something you have inspired to become!"
Miume:
"Now, we all know that there's a bunch of negativity in today's community. How do you respond to criticism from people?"
Honami:
"The bottom line is that I always listen to them and make sure they're on the same page, but when they're going too far, that's when I decide to step out and avoid it as much as possible!"
Miume:
"You are absolutely correct. Never listen to people who put negative thoughts in your life, they will only let you down."
