Hi, Welcome to A Butterfly Flaps It's Wings!
This is a fandub for a fan shuffle au of Project Sekai. We plan on creating and dubbing stories, memes, covers, etc.Since this is an au, we will go more in depth on certain topics that are touched upon in games, so there are warnings for each character.The Units in question are:Proto ☆ Star: Nene led, unit members are Akito, Shizuku, and Tsukasa.An idol group formed by former idol Shizuku Hinomori, and 3 amateurs to the industry. They strive to inspire people to carry on despite their circumstances, and to cling onto the hope that their circumstances will change.
Wonders -> JOY!: Emu led, unit members are Ena, Honami, and Ichika.A group of people haunted by their past bonds and the people they've pushed away, Ena, Honami and Ichika all get wrapped into helping Emu revive the Wonderstage as Honami and Ichika try to rekindle their old friendship, and as Ena tries to find her brother who she cut herself off from years ago.
Revival Circuit: Shiho led, unit members are Mafuyu, Haruka, and Kohane.A group of 3 who have no dream, and 1 who is willing to do anythign to pursue hers. All of them have a public view which doesn't accurately reflect the real them, and they work together to start a band and to touch the hearts of others alongside their own. They also have to plan on getting one member away from her mother, who doesn't seem to be aware of what's been happening behind the scenes.
Vivid Restoration: Mizuki led, unit members are An, Rui, and Airi.An Shiraishi, daughter of Ken Shiraishi, was told that her aunt Nagi died a few years ago. Since then, she's mellowed out and has undiagnosed depression. She works at Weekend Garage and tries not to draw attention to herself, but one day she catches the eye of one Mizuki Akiyama. As Mizuki decides that she wants to be the one to get close to An, them and her friends Airi and Rui all work to convince An to pursue street music again.
Light in the Night: Saki led, unit members are Kanade, Toya, and Minori.A group of musicians who make music together over Nightcord. All of them have been cut off by society for one reason or another, and so they strive for their music to be their hope which gets them through the days — and for it to do the same for others.

Akito is a dedicated idol with a tendency to overexert himself — on account of his abusive home life and skyhigh self-expectations.
Common CWs will include: Suicidal ideation, abuse, and workaholicism.
[Drowsy] Shizuku can’t know that I only slept an hour last night... nor can Tenma. Whatever, I'll just grab an energy drink and go out for a run or something...
[Dejected] That livestream I did with the others... I hope she saw it.... Tenma was annoying about it as normal; Shizuku said that I did well... it's still not enough, though.
[Talking to himself] An and Kusanagi... those two are similar in many ways. Last time I spoke to Ken-san, he said that An was doing well. Maybe I should stop by Weekend Garage to check up on her again. Ken-san’s been wanting me to check out his new pancake and chamomile tea combo anyway.... I hope he's not trying to get me to fall asleep so I stay over at their house again.
Shizuku Hinomori is an ex idol who, with the support of her sister Shiho and her br— friend Akito, decided to give the industry another chance. She is determined to help people as an idol.
Common CWs will include: Discussions of neglect, discussions of abuse, beauty standards, and misogyny.
[Confused] Shii was acting weird when she saw Akito cutting my hair. I don't get it, though? I think Akito did a great job.
[Upset] Airi-chan and I have been speaking a little less recently... I wonder if she's okay.. She seemed upset last time we spoke — when I quit being an idol... I need to tell her that I haven't given up yet.
[Proud] Kusanagi-san seems to be a little more comfortable around me these days. Before she used to stick by Tsukasa-kun, but recently she's been talking to me more!
Emu Otori is a cheerful girl who is determined to save the Wonderstage with the help of the rest of her group. She was the one who befriended and brought together the group, and had Ena Shinonome move in with her.
Common CWs will include: discussions of death and grief, discussions of abuse.
[Cheerful] Wahaha!! Super-duper yummy Homemade sweets, sparkly shiny face paints, stunts that go whoshooo, and reaaallly dreamy singing... everyone will be able to smile at the Wonder Stage!
[Concerned] Ena-chan stayed in her room all day, I hope she didn't get into a fight with onii-chan...I know what'll cheer her up! One order of extra scrumptious wonderhoy cheesecake!
[Flustered and cheerful] Waahhhhh, Ichika-chan's singing always makes me go fwump-fwump flip-flop doki-doki wahoy!!! I'm so glad she can sing with us!
Ena Shinonome is a traumatized artist who lives with Emu Otori. She feels guilty over having run away from her abusive household and having left her younger brother behind.
Common CWs will include: Discussions of abuse, self blame, guilt, mental health issues, suicidal ideation.
[Confused] That new group.... protostar..... I think I recognize one of the members but... maybe I'm mistaken. Would Akito really have green streaks in his hair?
[Confused and frustrated] I can't help but feel awkward when I'm around Hoshino-san and Mochizuki-san... without Emu as a conversation starter, they're just so quiet. I wonder what happened between them...
[Calm and content] Getting the kids to sit still for face painting is the hardest part, but I'm glad Emu dragged me into this. I sorta feel like I belong somewhere.
Honami Mochizuki is a girl grappling with the guilt over the breaking off her past relationships, versus keeping alive her current ones. After starting a friendship with Emu Otori and joining the Wonder Stage, she has to learn how to rekindle her bond with her old friends and how to find herself and her true feelings.
Common CWs will include: Discussions of bullying, masking, isolation, self depreciation and guilt.
[Contemplative] I think I'll take some first aid classes. If a visitor gets hurt, I want to help them, and even though Emu-chan has being doing her tricks forever, I'm still worried about her.
[Upset] Why did Emu-chan choose me to help..? What can I even bring to the Wonder Stage? Shinonome-san paints, Ichika-san sings, Emu-chan does stunts... what do I do?
[Wistful] If Saki-chan gets better one day, I think she'd love the Wonder Stage. I hope I can bring her here some day... I'd want to bring Shiho-san too, but I don't know if she can forgive me...
Shiho Hinomori is an aspiring professional bassist. After a falling out with her childhood friends, the only thing stopping her from going pro is a band who's serious enough to play with her.
Common CWS will include: Depression, discussions of abuse, bullying, and ableism.
[Pleasantly surprised] "I'm surprised Azusawa wanted to join Kiritani and I. She's intimidated by me and doesn't have any dreams, but she's taking this pretty seriously."
[Wistful and sad] "I've noticed Honami and Ichika have been hanging out and eating lunch together.I hope they're doing alright... I miss them."
[Worried] "Kiritani, Asahina... I don't get what people see in them. Everyone says they're perfect, but I only see two girls in some kind of pain."
Mafuyu Asahina is an honors student assigned to watch over Revival Circuit, who eventually joins in an attempt to find her own sense of self and identity.
Common CWs will be: Abuse, maipulation, neglect, dissociation, and suicidal ideation.
[Quiet, with a quivering voice] I *just* needed to supervise your usage of the music room after hours, I was never supposed to join you all in making a band. Now Okaasan thinks I'm making a joke out of her love for me by being a bad daughter. I thought that I could find it with you all...! Kiritani-san, you're selfish. You're all selfish for thinking that you can fix me.
[Masking] Oh, you need help with your homework? Of course I can help! After... school..? Ah, sorry, I actually have plans with someone already at that time — is there another time that works for you?
[Monotone/Emotionless] Hinomori-san is so passionate about going pro. I wonder what it feels like, having that sense of self, and a dream like that. Why can't I...
Haruka Kiritani is an ex member of ASRUN who, after a confrontation with a fellow idol, wasn't able to go on stage anymore. Now with Revival Circuit, she finds herself diving headfirst into the world of music and healing from her past.
Common CWS will include: PTSD, panic attacks, discussions of abuse, and discussions of eating disorders.
[Distraught] "I didn't know that telling Asahina-san to speak to her mother would end up so poorly.... I really didn't mean to get her hurt — I was just looking out for her, and wanted to continue making music with her... maybe I am a lia- er, selfish."
[Determined] "I'm used to singing and dancing at the same time, but singing and playing an instrument is a whole other skill set. I'll need to keep practicing if I want to keep up with Hinomori-san."
[Fondly] "Hehe, I didn’t think snakes could be cute, but Kohane-chan changed my mind when she showed me pictures of Count Pearl"
Kohane Azusawa, a girl with no dream, decides to forge her own dream alongside her classmate's band.
Common CWS will include: Discussions of abuse, discussions of depression, and panic attacks.
[Reminiscent] "Even though Kiritani-san had a dream in the past, I can kind of relate to her. I've never had a dream until now, so I know how she feels right now. Hopefully we can pursue our dream to go pro together!"
[Nervous] "Hinomori-san is so serious..." [determined] "But she inspired me to try playing in a band, so I won't back away from her challenge to go pro!"
[Giddy] "Since I've joined Revival Circuit with Kiritani-san, Hinomori-san, and Asahina-san, I feel like I've been more true to myself, I hope everyone else can see it too!"

Common CWs include: discussions of death, threats of violence, bullying, depression, transphobia, and discussions of gender dysphoria.
[Excited] "An genuinely smiled when I braided her hair today and it was the cutest thing I've ever seen! I swear that my heart was going to beat out of my chest!! I need to figure out how to get her to smile like that again."
[Hesitant, yet determined] "Rui, I... I get why she's so sad, but it happened years ago. I promised her dad... no, I vow that I'll do what I can to bring the light back in her eyes and to bring a spark to this town."
"You...want me to take your bow? I- no, I can't, it's part of your uniform- I..." [Quiet, yet happy] "Thank you, An."

Common CWs include: Discussions of death, grief, depression, discussions of transphobia, and discussions of abuse.
"When dad told Akito and I about Nagi, I.... I just gave up. I couldn't handle it — performing for a town that lied to me for so long. So now I just work at the cafe with my dad. Hm...? Mizuki-san? Why do you look so sad?"
"You've seen Haruka more recently than I have, Momoi, so how has she been? I heard she quit being an idol? It seems both of us gave up, huh?"
"Sing...? Can I really sing again after all this time? Mizuki, Momoi-san, and Kamishiro-kun seem to believe in me but... heh, I'm not sure I believe in myself..."

[Wistful, yet bitter] "I should stop being jealous of Shizuku... She got to be an idol again, and I... well, I can't say I'm dissatisfied with being a street performer and having that freedom, but still..."
[Exasperated] "Rui-san! Mizuki-san! What did I tell you about-" [confused] "uh, are those...balloon animals?"
[Pleased] "I've never seen Ena this carefree since we were kids... I'm glad she's moved in with Otori-san and found her place at the Wonderstage."
After her father ends up hospitalized, Kanade Yoisaki takes to composing and posting songs on the internet in hopes of saving someone. After receiving a comment from a Nightcord user by the name of "Saii", Kanade does whatever she can so that Saii can rely on her and her music.
Common CWs include: Codependency/unhealthy relationships, discussions of ableism, discussions of abuse, discussions of death, depression, and discussions of eating disorders.
[Worried] "Saii hasn't been online all day... at least eleven of my messages are left unread... I thought my music made her feel like she wasn't alone, but if that's the case, where did she go?"
[Wistfully] "That Yuki individual who said my music saved them...I wonder how they're doing now..."
[Tired] "Aoya, Mino, I know you mean well, but... the sun is just too bright and walking is exhausting. I'm not going to the park to get some 'fresh air' when I can just turn on the air conditioning."
After sustaining an injury while pursuing street music, Toya Aoyagi's family isolates him from the outside world. He begins to use Nightcord to communicate with the Tenma siblings and finds himself in an online music circle.
Common CWs include: Discussions of depression, ableism, discussions of codependency, discussions of abuse, and injury.
[Wistful] "I'm glad I can talk to Saki-san more through Nightcord, but I wish there was more I could do for her..."
[Nostalgic] "The one who inspired me to choose my own path in music... I wonder what he'd think about the music I make now. I hope he would like it."
[Intrigued] "...and you say the stage lighting made her look like an angel? That sounds incredible, Mino, but I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that..."
Minori Hanasato had been cursed with bad luck, and had skipped school and self isolated until she learned about the idol group ASRUN, which led her to talk in online forums about idols. After making a new friend through one of these forums, she is invited to a music group, hoping to be a "virtual idol".
Common CWs include: Depression, discussions of ableism, discussions of abuse, isolation, discussions of codependency, and discussions of death.
[Excited] "All of the ASRUN members are amazing, but... There's just something extra special about Haruka-chan! Somehow I feel better when watching her!"
[Nervous yet determined] "K, Saii, Aoya, I learned a new vocal warmup! I heard that a lot of real idols use it, so I hope it'll help improve my voice... I want to do the best for our songs!"
[Shy] "Azusawa-san seems nice... It'd be fun to get to know her better, but... I'm never at school enough for it to really matter."
