TRIGGER WARNING: While there aren't any dark topics mentioned in this post, they are abundant in the story. If you are uncomfortable with self-harm, swearing, depression, suicide attempts/suicidal thoughts, mentions of rape, eating disorders, substance abuse, child abuse, domestic abuse, sexual references, personality disorders, intrusive thoughts, or obsessive behavior, then this isn't for you. (I know that's a long list, but it's a long project, and they're spread throughout the story.)
Do you like relatable characters? Do you like Project SEKAI? Do you like fandom? If you like any of those things (emphasis on the first one), then you might like SPECTRA LIGHT: Project NIJI! (If you're not interested, keep scrolling. If you are... carry on.)
This isn’t an ad to get your money. It’s an ad to get your support. Project NIJI is a nonprofit fanproject run by a bunch of… well, fans. It’s technically an Alternate Universe (AU) for Project SEKAI, but someone without knowledge of the game could still understand the story perfectly well, as the main cast is composed of 20 Original Characters (OCs).
Since this is a fanproject and doesn’t have to abide by copyright laws, ambitious collaborations or ideas can be accomplished more easily. This means that we don’t have to dance around more mature topics to hold onto that sweet, sweet 9+ rating.
There’s five musical groups:
Welcome TO Purgatory, a band dedicated to showing the world the truth, no matter how uncomfortable.
Sparkling☆Smile☆Stage, a group who wants the world around them to be a little less sad (even if they’re doing much worse).
LITERALLY HELL, who wants to show you that not every story has a happily ever after.
StarSuit Go!, an idol group who doesn’t believe in letting others change who you are.
Night blossomS, an online music group with questionable PR decisions who wants to reach someone.
That’s simplifying the groups a LOT, but it gets the general point across.
Now, I’ve spent most of this rambling about the project itself, but here’s why I’m making this post: We need people. Lots of them. In fact, we need:
Writers
Artists
Storyboarders
Beta readers
Music arrangers
Vocal tuners
Video editors/animators
Singers/voice actors (keep in mind that you might have to speak in another language a lot)
Translators
Color artists
Moderators (for our Discord server, and our subreddit if we get one)
Publicists (social media managers)
Chart makers (iykyk)
List of languages that we need translators for (we need people to translate these languages into English, or vice versa):
Japanese (we need the most translators for this language, as it's the primary language. Project NIJI is set in Japan, after all.)
Dutch
Swedish
Portuguese
Vietnamese
Chinese
Cantonese
Tagalog/Filipino
Russian
French
Arabic
Korean
Danish
Italian
German
Hindi
Spanish
There are other languages featured in the story, but they don't show up enough to warrant a translator.
If you can do any of those things (or maybe something else that could be helpful), then you can apply in this form. Please DO NOT DM THE ACCOUNTS IF YOU WISH TO BE A PART OF PROJECT NIJI.
Airi and Ena have matching cat cushions in their bedrooms. It was confirmed by Colorful Palette in Project Message Vol. 16 that this was an intentional detail; Airi and Ena would often go shopping together in middle school, and bought the cushions on one of their trips.
