As promised in the last Jewelpet scans post, I have also taken my time to scan and translate two Jewelpet activity books/memos. These are in Japanese and include various fun projects such as origami, cut-out stationary paper, coloring book pages, and more.
I'll be sharing the first of the two activity books today!
To clarify, this post includes the following scans, with each activity translated:
- Jewelpet (unnamed) Activity Book, all except the Jewelpet character file
This will be a rather lengthy posty with lots (and I do mean, LOTS) of scans so I'll place it under a cut!
As always with my scan posts, right-click and open in a new window/tab to see them full-size.
Jewelpet Activity Book
For the books I first will be uploading the full scans as seen in the book, and then post the scanlated or translated activities. Regardless of the method I used for translating, you can find the original activities in the five scans below:
First page activities.
This is a rolling fortune dice. The hard lines are for cutting, and the dotted lines for mountain-folding (basically, fold the paper away from you, with the colored side looking up so you can see it). The flaps that say のりしろ are to be glued. This is a pattern seen through-out the whole activity book.
Each character bears a fortune! They are as follows:
- Sapphie (yellow and blue dog): With the power of sapphire, friendship increases!
- Angela (alpaca): With the power of angelite (also called anhydrite), kindness increases!
- Labra (polar bear): With the power of labradorite, inspiration increases!
- Diana (black cat): With the power of diamonds, femininity increases!
- Garnet (pink cat): With the power of garnet, luck in love increases!
- Ruby (bunny): With the power of rubies, luck increases!
Free space memo to write whatever you'd like ^^
A rather creative memo! It is the "Sparkly Flower Times" newspaper. Because Japanese is written from up to down and right to left, this is how you should write "Today's Sparkly News!". The flower is simply there to "Paint with any color you like".
A cellphone-shaped memo.
This is a cut-out mini envelope! As usual, cut the normal lines, fold the dotted ones, and stick the flaps. The text on the bottom right is hilarious: "This mini envelope can't be sent by mail".
This one is really cute! A "help coupon" you give people to redeem your help (it is unclear if it's to particularly help them or help in a chore, but I suppose either way is the same).
Two more blank memos. Again, cut the solid lines.
Second page activities
For the chart quiz, just one note: it literally said "fashion motif". I changed it to charm because I thought it would be more understandable, basically they're saying that the shape must be present in your clothing somehow.
This cute invitation contains a sort of admission ticket that you can cut out and bring to the party, containing the time-date information and who gave it to you. So cute!
A "secret note" that folds in half, to pass to your classmates in class I suppose. The blank spaces are for putting in your name, year and class.
This memo urges you to write down your wishes and it'll become your amulet ("omamori").

Two origami papers! The dotted line is for mountain-folding; it doesn't say more than that but because they are square, they can be used for origami.
Coloring Activity
Ladder lotteries are a popular Japanese lottery that consists on picking a line and following it until the end. If you encounter another line dropping down or going up, you must follow it. This one is kind of easy, but in harder-diagrammed lotteries it is very hard to tell what your result is going to be, so you cannot secure your result.
Jewelpet is all about fortune, charms and jewel powers. So here you get to paint your bottle according to the type of luck you wish to have :)
Page three activities
The whole third set of pages consists of just one activity: a "comic" book you can fold yourself. The comic is titled "A heart-pounding, thrilling story" and the speech bubbles have been left blank so you can write the dialogue.
I'm not going to be translating the comic book because the only thing there is the "How to play" page that shows you an example of how the dialogue might go ("Today we have a picnic", says Ruby. "You're late!", says Labra).
Remember the panels in Japanese are read from right to left and so is the book, which is why it may look like the cover is on the wrong side, but it's not.
Here are the translated instructions (right-click and open in new tab to view full-size):
Valley folding is folding a paper unto itself. Mountain folding, the other way round. It's usually best to remember it this way: while valley folding, you see the other side of the paper, generally uncolored. While mountain folding, you see the correct side of paper, the colored one.
And... done! :) All's translated except the part of the back cover which has a character reference. Because it has a lot of text and I'm kind of lazy I'm going to finish this off right now and include the character files in the next post!
I really hope this has been helpful and enjoyable! Have fun with these various activities, notepad pages and memos!
