* The TropeMaker was ''MagicalAngelCreamyMami''. A girl aids a fairy and is granted the ability to become a (just barely) adult. She very quickly realizes that she has no idea what to do with herself as a grownup, then stumbles across a talent contest/scouting mission. Her powers give her an invisible band and special effects, and she gets hired as an idol singer. HilarityEnsues, though there are more serious bits.

* ''MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' is a cross of this and MagicalGirlWarrior.

* Yuna could be considered to be this in {{FinalFantasyX-2}}, despite her age. (While any of the three playable characters can activate the Songstress DressSphere and transform into an idol singer with magical music, Yuna deserves special mention due to the plot relevance of her transformation.)

This type of of MagicalGirl is the one that uses the WishFulfillment appeal of the genre the most. While the other two types uses her powers [[CuteWitch to do good deeds]] or [[MagicalGirlWarrior fight the good fight]], the Magical Girls here use the powers they gain to achieve their dreams of stardom, although they can use MagicMusic.
