In Japanese Pop Music, the Idol Singer industry makes big money. Idol singers are a huge force in advertising, appearing in 85% of Japanese commercials alone and crosspromoting the products of the company along with their own face and singing abilities. In addition, because idols have a dedicated fan base, companies can produce a lot of income through selling merchandise. It's a win-win situation. And now the anime industry has realized how much of a marketing powerhouse it is, so much that idol singers have now become their own genre in entertainment. Back then, it was common for actors or singers to release music as their characters from movies they starred in as a musical tie-in. Up-and-coming Idol Singers often used anime or movies as a vehicle to launch their music career, with Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel the first of its kind to do so. Voice actors of anime often released Image Songs on character CDs. But with the rapid growth in the number of Idol Singer groups debuting during the late 2000s and The New '10s, known in Japan as the "Warring Period of Idols" (Aidoru Sengoku-jidai), the anime and video game industry naturally caught onto this phenomenon. They began creating multiple Idol Singer-related Cash Cow Franchises, taking full advantage of the fact that most popular voice actors can already sing and that idol fans are the second biggest category of Otaku after anime. Enter the Idol Genre, multimedia franchises featuring Idol Singers and performers, where music and performance is integral to the entertainment of the story. Not only that, but the characters also have real-time activities and music is now Defictionalized. Songs are not only released under the characters' names, but the characters are also marketed as idols in real-life contexts, topping music and Blu-ray charts and competing against real-life Idol Singers. Actors perform in musical festivals and concerts as their characters in real life, drawing in large audiences. These series are also very likely to have 2.5D stage plays, and fans attend these performances like they would an idol concert, penlights, uchiwa signs, and everything. Idol Genre series tend to focus on attractive people of the same gender competing in the cut-throat entertainment industry, thrust into team-building and heated rivalries on who will become the top star (which draws similarities to Gaming and Sports Anime & Manga). Common episode plots involve the characters partaking in other idol-related activities such as acting or modeling, where they may have to work with their rivals; training to perform a new move; struggling to write lyrics for their next song; or even being concerned about scandals. The Idol Singer culture is mostly an Asian phenomenon, though there are Western examples that fit the bill (such as Disney Channel and other kids' series). A series is only part of the Idol Genre if it fits the following: |

Uta No Prince-sama: Featuring idol groups STARISH, Quartet Night, and HEAVENS, the franchise started out as a Dating Sim, but the popularity of the series has caused Broccoli to focus on the idol performance aspect of it more. The series was one of the first idol-related franchises to really get popular and helped define the Idol Genre, and their music consistently tops the music charts with every release. The series' stage plays have only been of the Show Within a Show variety, with the idols fully in character as another story. | |

The iDOLM@STER: The iDOLM@STER franchise is one of the oldest examples that has primarily influenced the genre as a whole. The original game itself allowed the player (called a "producer") to pick songs, wardrobe, and help the characters grow as performers. The first idol group featured in the series, 765 All Stars, continues to hold concerts and release music. The Idolmaster: collectively refers to the 765 Pro series, including the Xbox and arcade games, 2, SP and many more.

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight: While there are character songs attached to the series, it's a musical about actors in a Takarazuka Revue-esque setting rather than a Music Story about idols. Part of the confusion comes from real-life idols frequently collaborating with musical theater for projects. The stage plays were part of the franchise from the beginning. | |

The stage plays of the franchise are also an important innovation in the genre. They were one of the first to show their idols starring in complex fantasy Alternate Universe Show Within a Show stage plays, and one of the first to de-fictionalize these stage plays into real performances. As of 2023, they have had over 35 stage plays. | |

Full Moon: Mitsuki is able to transform into Idol Singer Full Moon. However, the idol subplot is only secondary to the main story, which is more of a drama as it heavily focuses on Mitsuki and the Shinigami's relationships with life and death. On the other hand, the anime tries to make it an idol genre series with the amount of Filler (due to Overtaking the Manga) and even has Mitsuki's voice actress perform the opening theme songs. (However, Mitsuki's actress isn't credited as the character and the show was only used as a vehicle to promote her band.) | |

Hypnosis Mic: The concept focuses more on rap battles and not Japanese Pop Music, but the marketing format is the same: attractive people competing against rivals on who is the best performer in music.

IDOL × IDOL STORY!: From the author of New Game!, this manga gives the idol genre a Reality TV spin. It focuses on sixteen idols who are sequestered on a cruise ship and filmed while the producers whittle their numbers down to the top five. Mimi Nagisa, a washed-up and nearly over the hill (at the ripe old age of 22) former idol is dragged out of retirement by a younger idol she inspired, and the series does not shy away from the fact that some people just aren't cut out for stardom. | |

Nana: The story deals with the rock band Black Stones ("Blast" for short) trying to break out in the music industry and their rivalry with Trapnest. However, the music aspect is only a subplot to the main story, which is a Shoujo drama focused on the two Nanas' relationships and personal struggles. Despite that there have been albums and music released under Black Stones and Trapnest's names, they were never marketed in the same vein as Idol Genre series and do not cater to the idol Otaku demographic — Nana's main fan base mostly consists of people who don't regularly watch anime. | |

Love Live!: Love Live is one of the genre codifiers and made idols popular in mainstream anime media. The main gimmick is that the girls are "school idols" (not to be confused with School Idol), who are not professional idols but rather average high school girls who produce all of the music, costumes and performances on their own. Love Live!: Follows the school idol group µ's as they search for a way to save their school from closing down. Love Live!: Manga version. Love Live! Sunshine!!: Follows a new school idol group, Aqours, as they search for the radiance that they saw from their inspiration, µ's. Love Live! Sunshine!!: Manga version. Love Live School Idol Festival ALLSTARS and Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club: Follows yet another school idol club from Odaiba who primarily focus on solo performances. Love Live! Superstar!!: Follows a team of five 1st year school idols enrolled in a re-opened high school. 2022's Love Live! The School Idol Musical was the series' first stage adaptation. Rather than being an "anime-style" 2.5D production, it featured new characters with more naturalistic looks. Link! Like! Love Live!: Follows a new school idol group based in Kanazawa, Ishikawa. Features a prominent Virtual Celebrity aspect with a focus on livestreaming. |

Kirarin☆Revolution: Kirari Tsukishima, the main character, was played by then-Morning Musume member Koharu Kusumi, who released music under her name and portrayed her in concerts and on Oha Suta. This format became so popular that it was adopted for the other main characters in the second season, Stage 3. Hello! Project trainees You Kikkawa and Sayaka Kitahara were cast as two original characters, who would team up with Kirari and release music as a group, while Ships was recast with younger actors to release music, perform, and appear on television as the characters. Several rhythm games for the Nintendo DS and arcade games were also released. | |

Tsukipro The franchise's first series,Tsukiuta, has characters who are personifications of months, and it featured both male and female idols from the beginning. In addition to Tsukiuta's Six Gravity, Procellarum, Fluna, and Seleas, the franchise has expanded to include idols based on the elements (Solids for fire, Quell for water, Growth for earth, SOARA for air), and gemstones (the Vazzrock series). The stage plays of the franchise are also an important innovation in the genre. They were one of the first to show their idols starring in complex fantasy Alternate Universe Show Within a Show stage plays, and one of the first to de-fictionalize these stage plays into real performances. As of 2023, they have had over 35 stage plays. |
