Historical figures are revived into the present to create an idol group.
Complete with a strategist as the manager.
Also, both series has a crazy and zany plot that is diverges from traditional idol anime.
Both are music anime that have a twist: one has zombie idols, the other has a historical Chinese tactican managing a singer. Although they focus on different types of music, they share a goal of becoming popular and go through trials and tribulations to achieve said goal. Both managers of the idol group and singer are eccentric so be prepared for some crazy ideas from both parties.
-Music
-Comedy
-Anachronism
-Cute girls :)

Both of these anime go above and beyond with the plot and characters. On paper it sounds weird but that's what makes them stand out and be so good. And the music has been great.

Both anime are not your traditional idol show. Concept-wise, both anime sounds weird, however, it managed to mash very well and make both anime a masterpiece.
Both anime also features an idol manager who uses unusual ways to help an idol rise to stardom.
MCs of both anime, Sakura and Eiko have the same VA (Hondo, Kaede).

This recommendation might seem strange aside from the whole singing part... but I couldn't stop thinking back to Zombieland Saga as I was watching Ya Boy Kongming! It's more historical (obvs), but the vibes are pretty darn similar. Both extremely funny and strangely heartwarming TV shows with that'll make you giggle and cheer.
