Image songs exist to expand upon the personalities and atmospheres of characters. They may be loosely related to the character's backstory, or they might be completely original. A significant portion of vintage vocal doujin music was comprised of such songs, which were not arrangements, but made in the spirit of the media they sought to represent. In this case, it's the classic "Cardcaptor Sakura" anime.

Are you referring to bands such as Dempagumi.inc?
There were no "idols" in the early vocal doujin scene, as far as I can tell, but "idols" took on qualities of denpa in later years, particularly in Idolm@ster - a commercial representation of moe denpa, and to an extent, image songs by themselves.

Though they are not of doujin, I can feel a similar air from them. They were even covered by the doujin vocalists at the time.

It'd be hard to turn it into something as regular as the denpa thread. It's unfortunate, but there is no community dedicated to vintage doujin or denpa music that I know of. Makes me wish that a less transient medium was available.
