1 · Japanese artwork (copy authority) beside the English original

1b · Japanese rewritten (v3 → v4)

A native speaker rejected v3, so every line was redone. v4 has not been read by a native speaker yet.

2 · Open questions

1. Lab values. Energy/protein/carb numbers are estimates. Japan bars the 目安/推定値 note when the
2. Capsule fill weight for 内容量 (Japanese packs write e.g. 「60粒（1粒重量○mg）」) and the per-粒 header.
3. Japanese importer (輸入者) name and address — required on imported food; not on the US label.
4. Japanese contact number / email — currently the US +1 SMS line.
5. JAN barcode — the US UPC 850073922002 is kept as-is.
6. Folate salt (calcium salt / Quatrefolic glucosamine salt) — Japanese ingredient lists name it,
7. 原産国名 — set to アメリカ (filled and packed in the USA); formulation is Canada.
8. Glycine at 220 mg kept from the 15 mg label — confirm it is unchanged in the 1 mg formula.
9. Lot/label codes — LMF15 → LMF01 and a JP suffix were set by pattern (LBL-LMF01-60-JP-R01, LMF01-60VC, HL-JP-001); real codes needed.
10. Claim wording — v4 says 最大量配合 (v3's 最大配合量 read as a spec ceiling). Real Japanese packs mostly say 高配合. Japan's

JA-P1 · Front PASS (producer QA)

• a1 — PASS with flag: Geometry, cap, logo and circle match the kept EN P1 almost edge-for-edge. Blind Sonnet transcription is character-exact on all 7 lines. Flag: at 8× the producer reads the first kanji of 賦形剤 with a 月-like left side (膩?); the blind reader reads 賦. Glyph is ~18 px tall.
• a2 — PASS (producer QA): Regenerated with the glyph-check prompt. 賦 now shows the 貝 left part with legs at 8× (side-by-side against rendered 賦/膩). Blind transcription character-exact on all 7 lines. Same camera and bottle as the kept EN P1.
• b1 — PASS (producer QA): Copy v4. Blind transcription matches all 6 front lines; 賦 shows the 貝 left part (microtext, soft at 12×). Same camera and bottle as the kept EN P1.

JA-N3 · Right 10° PASS (producer QA)

• a1 — PASS (producer QA): All six front lines read character-exact at 3× (賦 correct here). Measured on pixels: cap/body width 0.85 vs 0.87 on the kept EN N3; product height/width 2.17 vs 2.18. Tighter crop than the EN frame; slight right-side sliver shows the facts panel wrapping away. Blind Sonnet transcription: character-exact, no malformed glyphs.
• b1 — PASS (producer QA): Copy v4. All front lines exact; 賦 correct at 10×. Nutrition column on the right edge recedes out of legibility (wraps out of view, not garbled into new glyphs).

JA-L1 · Steep down PASS with note (producer QA)

• a1 — PASS (producer QA): Framing, cap ellipse, camera height and bottle proportions match the kept EN L1 side by side. All front lines read correctly at 3×; the small no-fillers line is ~12 px tall and reads 賦形剤・ステアリン酸塩・二酸化ケイ素・流動化剤 不使用 within the image's resolution. Blind Sonnet transcription: character-exact, no malformed glyphs.
• b1 — FAIL: Copy v4. 賦 drawn with 月 on the left (臓/膩-like) in the small free-from line; blind reader flagged it too. Regenerate as b2 with a large glyph sheet as reference.
• b2 — FAIL: Glyph-sheet reference + named fix; 賦 still drawn with a 月-like left part at the steep-down framing. Second failure of the same mechanism → change composition (STAT-U-008).
• b3 — PASS with note (producer QA): Portrait frame, bottle ~85% of frame height, high camera kept (cap-top ellipse visible) but less steep than the EN L1. 賦 shows 貝 with legs at 10×; blind transcription exact on all lines. Cap ≈82% of body width.

JA-R1 · Rear-left support panel PASS (producer QA)

• a1 — REVISE — receding sliver: Whole support panel is character-exact (blind Sonnet transcription matches every line, codes, phone, icons). Defect: on the front-art sliver turning away at the right, the 賦形剤… line becomes invented glyphs (reads 個縁…), and the sliver's print stops on a straight vertical cut before the bottle edge. Regenerate a2 with a changed prompt (glyph list + receding-text rule).
• a2 — REVISE — receding sliver: Support panel again character-exact (blind transcription) and the sliver now ends nearer the silhouette, but the small 賦形剤 line on the receding front-art sliver is still invented glyphs (blind reader: 眼冇乢…) and L-メ shows as L-M. Second failure of the same mechanism, so a3 changes the camera (12° further) instead of the wording.
• a3 — PASS (producer QA): Camera changed 12°: the receding right edge now shows only the circle and the wordmark start, no small type. Support panel, codes, barcode, QR, cautions and icons character-exact (blind transcription, no malformed glyphs). A narrow edge of the nutrition box appears at far left as asked.
• b1 — FAIL: Copy v4. All Japanese exact, but the vertical lot codes are garbled (LMF01-ϭ60…, HL-JP-0D-001). Regenerate as b2 with the codes spelled out.
• b2 — PASS (producer QA): Lot codes now exact (LBL-LMF01-60-JP-R01 / LMF01-60VC / HL-JP-001) at 5×. Blind transcription exact on every Japanese line; only the circle edge and a CleanHe fragment on the receding right edge.

JA-Q9 · Rear-right nutrition / 一括表示 PASS (producer QA)

• a1 — REVISE — squeezed wrap: Nutrition panel and 一括表示 copy are correct, and the camera and bottle match the kept EN Q9. Fatal for this lane: the support panel on the right is re-wrapped into a narrow column so all of it fits (REF-U-008, the old Q6/Q7 failure). The 一括表示 is also re-wrapped, and the front-art sliver on the left has garbled small glyphs. Regenerating a2 with a lane-specific wrap rule. (The first a1 call was refused: 6 references > tool limit of 5; it was re-run with the cap macro dropped.)
• a2 — REVISE — receding sliver: The wrap rule worked: the support panel keeps its line breaks and is clipped by the curvature (no squeeze). Nutrition panel and 一括表示 character-exact at 3× (販売者 wraps onto two lines). Still failing: the front-art sliver on the left shows invented glyphs (blind reader: 葉巣酸, 沢仔…). Second sliver failure, so a3 changes the camera.
• a3 — REVISE — English fragment: Camera change worked: no garbled Japanese on the left edge, support panel clipped correctly, nutrition panel and 一括表示 exact. Defect: one ~6×20 px gradient-coloured English 'E' (from the reference's FOLATE) leaked onto the far-left turning edge below the circle. a4 = prompt-only change naming that area as blank label stock.
• a4 — PASS with note (producer QA): Left turning edge now shows only the circle; no English or garbled fragments. Support panel clipped by curvature at normal scale. Nutrition panel and 一括表示 character-exact at 3× and in the blind transcription. Note: the 一括表示 box is drawn narrower than the artwork, so 原材料名, 保存方法, 販売者 and お召し上がり方 wrap onto extra lines (same words, different line breaks).
• b1 — FAIL: Copy v4. 保存方法 line reads 高温多温 (second 温 instead of 湿), seen at 7× and by the blind reader. Everything else exact. Regenerate as b2 naming the glyph.
• b2 — PASS (producer QA): 高温多湿 now correct (湿 with 氵+日+业) at 7×. Nutrition, 一括表示 (equal-spaced keys), origin line, disclaimer and お召し上がり方 exact in the blind transcription; support panel clipped by the curve, not squeezed.

JA-T2 · Carton front + side PASS (producer QA)

• a1 — PASS with note (producer QA): Carton geometry, tuck flap, circle crossing the fold and camera match the kept EN T2 side by side. Front panel and side panel copy character-exact (blind Sonnet transcription; its one miss, 塩 in ステアリン酸塩や, is present at 4×). Note: the side tagline 余計なものは、なにも入れない。 breaks onto two lines; the artwork sets it on one.
• b1 — PASS (producer QA): Copy v4. Blind transcription matches all front and side-panel lines; no malformed glyphs.

JA-S3 · Carton facts + QR side PASS with note (producer QA)

• a1 — PASS with note (producer QA): Carton geometry, flaps, panel adjacency and camera match the kept EN S3. Nutrition panel, 一括表示, icons, distributor, codes, barcode, QR, contact and disclaimer are character-exact (blind Sonnet transcription). Note: the 注意事項 micro-text on the receding side panel (~9 px) reads correctly but its strokes are soft (摂取, 相談 not stroke-verifiable), and one bullet wraps differently from the artwork.
• b1 — PASS with note (producer QA): Copy v4. Every line exact, including the 一括表示 box and lot codes. The side-panel caution bullet 3 wraps 医師にご相談ください。 onto a second line (a natural wrap, not squeezed); the last two bullets are soft.
