COMMENTS
Conjecture: For any positive integers k and m, there is a positive integer n relatively prime to m such that phi(m*n) = phi(m)*phi(n) is a k-th power.
This conjecture implies that a(n) exists for every n = 1,2,3,....
See also A334353 for a similar conjecture involving the sigma function (A000203).
a(n) = 1 if and only if n is in A078164. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Apr 24 2020

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 16 with gcd(3,16) = 1 and phi(3*16) = phi(3)*phi(16) = 2*8 = 2^4.
a(167) = 370517977 with gcd(167, 370517977) = 1 and phi(167*370517977) = phi(167)*phi(370517977) = 166*370517976 = 61505984016 = 498^4.
