I think it had to do with the whole rise in idol themed anime that Toei didn't want to lose their viewers so they decided to make this a musical. This is a guess, btw XD You might be right, but did Toei created some idol anime? Toei created an idol anime? I don't think they have... Time for some research! XD RESEARCH TIME! For all those who've wondered/asked, a quick google says:


 * Toei created an idol duo, but haven't made an anime with them yet


 * Toei's 60th anniversary involves a female idol movie called Popin Q.  This movie will debut in winter 2017

...but no actual idol anime series, I'd assume since their tokusatsu and non-idol anime pull in enough as it is.
