OTHER CHANGES/EDITS FROM JP DUB

 * In the first scene of the episode, there is a dream sequence from a future episode edited in before Emma is waken up by Rae. In the original JP dub, the first scene has Emiko being abruptly woken up by Ryoka with no dream sequence at all.
 * Most things that were originally Japanese or objects and other things from the JP dub had been edited with other text, labels and objects to appeal to the english audience. This also includes name changes and words from Japanese language changed into english (Which means localisation.) An example of this localisation is that Fanasia is no longer set in Japan but somewhere in Rhode Island, America.
 * Lots of dialogue changes. An example being in the first scene. In the original dub when woken by Ryoka, she says "You still can't wake up at the right time?! Onee-san get a move on!" and Emiko replies "Ryoka why did you interrupt my dream for?! It was my favourite one too and you couldn't wait a few more minutes...". But in the english dub, Rae says when she wakes up Emma "Surprise! Did I scare you?! Because if so then mission accomplished cause now your FINALLY awake!" and Emma replies "Are you that dumb to not know the definition of privacy Rae?! My dream is ruined because of you! And I was getting to the best part of it you... Twerp!"
 * The narration style has also changed. In the original dub, Emiko talked over certain scenes with background narration and nothing else, but in the english dub, that narration exceeds to now there are edits that show sort of diary biographies of the characters while Emma talks in the background.
 * The theme song and editing in it has changed as well as the title card.
 * Nelli's story has a few name changes and other edits (Example: Her home in the JP dub is called Galaxy Cherub-28 but in the English dub it's changed to Planet Of The Keys.).
 * The device used to transformation has a name change. In the JP dub, it's called Keeper Key Quill but in the ENG dub it's called the Signature UnlockPen.
 * The transformation scene is saturated even more.
 * Attacks also have name changes as in the JP dub, Emiko's attack is named Starlock Shower. But in the ENG dub, Emma's attack is named Starlight Starbright.
 * At the end of the episode, there is a segment called "Emiko's FavouriTales" which is a clip show of various fairytales from Disney animated movies with a few edits and Emma talking over them about the story.
