History Main / MagicIdolSinger

* Kazuho Haneyama (otherwise known as "Pop☆Step") of ''Manga/VigilanteMyHeroAcademiaIllegals'' fashions herself as one, although it's unknown if she's truly trying to be a hero or just wants to get noticed.

* ''Anime/PrettyRhythmAuroraDream'' has the main characters as ice skaters instead of idol singers and they lack Older Alter Egos, but otherwise, the show fits the genre pretty well. Its spinoff series ''VideoGame/PriPara'' and ''VideoGame/KirattoPriChan'' and male focused movie series ''[[Anime/KingOfPrism KING OF PRISM by Prettyrhythm]]'' are equally as magical.

* The entire main cast of ''Franchise/LapisRelights'' are high school aged girls leaning how to use magic to fight magical monsters. They also perform as idol singers to amass mana that powers the city their WizardingSchool is located in.

* In ''TabletopGame/PrincessTheHopeful'', any Princess who is also a Troubadour qualifies as this trope.

* ''Manga/FullMoonOSagashite'' (pictured) is about twelve-year-old Mitsuki Koyama gaining the ability to [[OlderAlterEgo transform into a 16-year-old version of herself]], who becomes an idol singer under the stage name "Full Moon". This also allows her to sing by (temporarily) removing the throat cancer that is otherwise stopping her. Unlike most examples, her singing or performances don't require any magic, with the exception of a few sparkly effects, such as the occasional wings. Her performances are done solely on her own abilities.

* In ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'', both Cure Ma'Cherie and Cure Amour have this motif. They even perform a duet in their first battle.

* ''Anime/DreamFestival'' works under the same conditions as ''Aikatsu'' does; that is to say, they use the same card system in order to transform the singers and give them new outfits.

* ''VideoGame/{{Aikatsu}}'' (short for "Idol Katsudou") lacks the "fighting against evil" aspect, but it's very much magical so it still counts.

* ''Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear'' has the main characters being one part Magic Idol singer and one part MagicalGirlWarrior. And it's awesome.

* ''Fanfic/StarlightIsForAlways'' is a NextGenFic starring [[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} Jerrica's]] daughter Pilar, who discovers the "ghost" of Jem [[spoiler: really Synergy]] and uses the earrings she is given to become the idol singer Jax.

This type of MagicalGirl is the one that uses the WishFulfillment appeal of the genre the most. While the other two types use their 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. As the protagonists here tend to be too young to be part of the musical industry, OlderAlterEgo is often used.

A SubTrope of MagicalGirl where her magical identity is an IdolSinger. They come in two varieties - either a girl who is already an idol singer gains the ability to fight crime, usually by way of singing, or a girl becomes an idol singer through the use of magic.

Note; the character has to be a magical girl, not just someone with music-related powers.
