Magic Idol Singer: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

 

This type of [[Magical Girl]] is the one that uses the [[Wish Fulfillment]] appeal of the genre the most. While the other two types uses her powers [[Cute Witch|to do good deeds]] or [[Magical Girl Warrior|fight the good fight]], the Magical Girls here use the powers they gain to achieve their dreams of stardom, although they can use [[Magic Music]].

 

Compare/Contrast [[Evil Diva]].

* The [[Trope Maker]] was ''[[Magical Angel Creamy Mami]]''. A girl aids an alien 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. [[Hilarity Ensues]], though there are more serious bits.

** A rarer example since magic has nothing to do with her singing or performances, with the exception of a few sparkly effects such the occasional wings. Her performances are done solely on her own abilities.

* ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'' is a cross of this and [[Magical Girl Warrior]], with [[Our Mermaids Are Different|mermaids]].

* ''[[Mink]]'' uses this trope, except her transformation isn't done by magic but instead with "secret technology from the future."

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' gives us the Starlights, Sailor Star Maker, Sailor Star Healer, and Sailor Star Fighter, who diguised as a male pop group called the Three Lights on Earth.

* ''[[Magical Star Magical Emi]]'': Although Emi is a Stage Magician rather than an Idol Singer, her story still follows the Magic Idol Singer template. She even dabbles in Idol Singer territory by combining her magic shows with musical accompaniment.

* ''[[Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream]]'' has the main main characters as ice skaters instead of idol singers, and they lack Older Alter Egos, but otherwise the show fits the genre pretty well.

* ''[[Senki Zesshou Symphogear]]'' has the main characters being one part Magic Idol singer and one part [[Magical Girl Warrior]]. And it's awesome.

* Key from ''[[Key the Metal Idol]]'' could count when one notes her revered and dreaded magical abilities. This being said, she is also a deconstruction of this trope, just as her, Miho, and Beniko serve to deconstruct the [[Idol Singer]] proper.
