* ''Anime/IdolDensetsuEriko''

Though it has predecessors in the late 90s and early 2000s through the SchoolgirlSeries and the BishoujoSeries (and many of those can retroactively be considered CGDCT), the genre is generally understood to have emerged in the late 2000s; the GenrePopularizer is 2009's ''Manga/KOn'', which is basically just cute girls playing in a band (and little else). It's closely related to both SliceOfLife and {{Iyashikei}}, though not inherently part of either genre; it occasionally overlaps with GagSeries as well. May also overlap with YuriGenre, though even when it doesn't, it tends to involve a lot of HomoeroticSubtext and/or [[PseudoRomanticFriendship Pseudo-Romantic Friendships]]. Often involves MagicalGirl or IdolSinger setups ([[MagicIdolSinger sometimes both!]]).
