find out.
Jem, Aja, Shana and Kimber posing to form the face of Synergy, from the original music video
"She's Got The Power". See the eyes, nose and mouth?
Anime Jem
Although the Jem animated series was infact mostly animated in Japan, it's not considered anime, since it didn't
originate from Japan, but from the US. And for most part, the characters in the Jem cartoon were drawn in American
style, rather than the traditional Japanese anime style. On top of that, anime series are known for having a bunch of
differences according to content, partly because of cultural traditions. But what if Jem was
to become an actual anime series? What could it mean for Jem?
To the right is a picture of what Jem could look like as a character in an anime (a Japanese
cartoon). Just think of the possibilities an anime show woud open up for Jem, all of those ideas that never made it
to the 80's cartoon, a black baddie in the Misfits, an alcoholic father, or Techrat being androgenous.
Not that Jem haven't stretched the limits already.
We've already got a taste of what characters from Jem would look like as anime. Not
the main characters though. But at the end of the episode "Starbright Part Three, Rising
Star", the audience that comes out from the movies after seeing the Misfits movie, look like
they came right out of an anime show. The drawing style looks completely different from
what any of the regular characters usually looks like.

Also in the episode "Scandal", there's a flashback with Kimber. But here she
doesn't look anything like she does in the other flashbacks in any other episodes.
What other things use the name "Jem"?
Every now and then you make a Jem search, and you have to add the word "Holograms"
because otherwise you will end up with a bunch of irritating results that has nothing
to do with the cartoon rockband and doll Jem. But have you ever wondering what those
other unrelated "Jem's" are all about? Here are some of them:
- "Jem" is the stagename of the Welsh singer Jemma Griffiths, born in 1975. She released
her first single in 2002.
- "Ibanez Jem" is a Japanese guitar brand model owned by Hoshino Gakki.
- "Jem" is a character in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
- "Jem'Hadar" are a group of characters in the Star Trek universe.
- "Jem Mace" was an English boxing champion.
- "Jem" is the title of a novel by the american science fiction writer Frederik Pohl.
- "Jem (and Sam)" is a novel by Ferdinand Mount.
- "Martin Jem Magnum 2000" is a fog machine.
- "Janome Jem" is a sewing machine.
This is about as far away you could get from Jem.
Then of course there are a bunch of things named as other things from the Jem
world, such as "The Misfits", or other characters' names.

Real Life Jem Look Alikes
Take a look at some "real life" singers who look like the Jem characters. Whether their looks have been
inspired by Jem or not, it's fun to see how much some of them look like Jem, or atleast to see singers
that dare to dye their hair in these haircolors.
Gwen Stefani
The singer from No Doubt dyed all her hair pink for a while, as can be seen in the music video to
"Ex girlfriend".
Pink
A singer called Pink, whose first released single was "There You Go", but today is one of the most wellknown
singers in the world.
Samantha Fox
Here's some pictures from the 80's, of the singer Samantha Fox with parts of her hair in pink.

Meja
Meja has released two albums, and is most known for her hit song "All 'Bout The Money".
She has sung the duet with Ricky Martin "Private Emotion". The pink hair in the picture is caused by the lights at a
performance, while she actually is all blond. But the interesting thing is that she kinda resembles
Britta Phillips (the singing voice of Jem), and backwards her name "Meja" can be pronounced as "A Jem".
[Idea by Joakim]
Katy Perry
A singer who currently has pink hair, but usually has all kinds of wild haircolors and styles.
Jem Fun
Jem Fanfics
As you've noticed there's no fan fiction on this site. But if I was to write some, here are some of my ideas.
Jem's Bond
Agent JEM is sent on a mission by the mysterious M.
See all the cool gadgets Techrat has invented for her, like a car that doesn't drive since it's made of
plastic but is really a radio, or a waterbed that is really a keyboard, or what about the hat that disguises her
beyond recognition by just covering her pink hair.
Big Brother Jem
What if you could peek into the every day life of Jem, when she isn't singing.
When she is just at home, cleaning the pool, running an antivirus program on Synergy, trying to find a bathroom in
Starlight Mansion, or hanging up a picture on the holographic wall.
K-JEMART
This one I actually started writing on: "Have you seen the news? Jem is opening a K-JEMART, maybe they got
Pizzas, Pizzazz", said Stormer, "let's storm in and surprise them". "And what is this", asks Jetta, "is Rio
driving his Jetta to Rio to film his own video with Video and her unknown sister Film?". "What a
culture clash", said Clash, we better go along to find out what
they're up to, lets call the Stingers and all other singers and have them come along too, just because.
Adventure at a Circus
Jem gets an invitation to visit a circus. She doesn't realize it was
sent by the Misfits who intend to make Jem and the Holograms the
clowns. What the Misfits don't know is that Jem and the Holograms
all happen to be great acrobats. On top of it, there's a really weird
pink llama running around.
