Akari is not Magical Girl neither is Ichigo or any other Aikatsu idol - AIKATSU IS NOT MAGICAL GIRL ANIME!!!

Sings on Magical Girl anime:

In the anime a character gains magical powers no one else has except their comrades, nobody of their friends or family know their secret (unless they are one of the Magical Girls or the Magical Girl tells their secret to them), she uses Magical Powers to fight against evil usually a villain group, she has mascot partner that is strange animal usually not from Earth

In Aikatsu! The girls are idols singing on stage, using Aikatsu System to perform Live Shows, caring to be on top, to beat rivals and get some fans. Magical Girls never do that.

Aikatsu is NOT a Magical Girl anime. If you count Aikatsu why not adding Pretty Rhythm, Full Moon wo Sagashite, AKB0048, Idolmaster, Love Live etc - neither of them are Magical Girl shows and neither of their characters are Magical Girls! And probably never will!
