Anime Like PriPara 3rd Season
The show takes the comfort of idol rhythm-game routines and suddenly folds in this weird, specific chaos of a baby that won't leave your side, turning every performance into parenting on live TV. That collision between "I have to win this competition" and "a literal child is calling me mama" is where the actual heart lives. The UFO setup sounds silly until you realize the show is quietly about what it means to suddenly be responsible for something that chose you, not the other way around.
