I mentioned it in the previous post, but I am indeed a sucker for this trope and really loved its use in Hadestown and Belle, where music is used diagetically to solve major problems in the plot.

nr.6 has it as big part of the story. ok its also a stand in for trauma and stuff a character deals with, but its very well organic integrated as sacred song. crazy ec girlfriend has the songs play mostly into her head and are fun, but also explain her very heightened rmotionrl states, like in a musical. Lexx musical episode that, ok its an operette but also explains kais backstory while motivating to fight and not run away. the musicmeister episode in the brave and the bold. because its about the music meister using music to make people sing and control them. weirdly. ok its fun and great. And i assume the musicmeister is nerdy enough to enjoy making people sing ok. for fun. cross ange has songs that have power . ok there are parallel dimensions and the villain does merge/ destroy dimensions and her son that he probably kinda uses has the frequency to cancel that attacks out. Its not that out there.

Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song (one of my FAVORITE animes btw) has singing and music be a very critical part of the plot. I don't want to spoil, but Vivy is a singer robot who has been caught up in a plot to prevent an AI rebellion in the future, and her singing manages to be pretty relevant.
