''Magical Angel Creamy Mami'' (or ''Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel'') was the first MagicalGirl series done by Creator/StudioPierrot (1983). It's the TropeMaker for the MagicIdolSinger genre, and it became quite popular in Europe (broadcast between 1985 and 1988).

During a whole year, Yu/Creamy becomes a star singer, makes Toshio fall for her, makes Megumi, the former Parthenon Productions' idol, [[ClingyJealousGirl clingy and jealous]], escapes plots to discover her true identity, and has a number of strange, magical, and supernatural adventures, all while continuing to attend school as Yu. Then in a farewell concert, [[spoiler:she gives her powers back to Pino Pino]].

However, the story was not finished. In an OAV released in 1985, Yu is 16 (for real) and learns that Shingo Tachibana needs Creamy again. All that Yu has to do to look like Creamy now is to wear a purple wig, so she can act in a movie with Megumi.

* MagicIdolSinger: TropeMaker.

Using a MagicalIncantation ("Pampuru pimpuru pam pom pum"), Yu can turn into a beautiful, purple-haired, [[OlderAlterEgo 16-year-old version of herself]]. The next day, she hangs around in her new form and meets Shingo Tachibana, a company manager for Parthenon Productions. He persuades Yu to sign a contract in order to be an IdolSinger. She does so under the pseudonym of "Creamy," the name of her parents' restaurant.

* EnforcedMethodActing: One episode has Creamy being gaslighted into investigating an apparent murder, which leads to her being unwittingly casted into acting for a horror movie.

A manga adaptation, ''Magical Angel Creamy Mami and The Spoiled Princess'', was published starting from December 2018 in the online magazine ''Comic Tatan''. The manga is a retelling of the series from Megumi's point of view. Creator/SevenSeasEntertainment licenced ''Spoiled Princess'' in 2020, with its first volume releasing in 2021.

* TheCameo: In Episode 4 ("Top Ten Scramble"), Ryoko Mendou, the young sister of Shutaro Mendou from Manga/UruseiYatsura appears in the top ten idol lineup on television, before Mami has her show.
