Genre
Genre plays an important role in the music select process in SEGA's music games, similar to Taiko no Tatsujin prior to Nijiiro version. Each song can only belong to one genre. The genre structure has changed multiple times in the maimai and CHUNITHM series, and as of 2020, SEGA has mostly unified the genre structure among all three games. This wiki takes advantage of this unification, and put songs into categories based on their genres.

Songs originally from Crackin' DJ were listed as ORIGINAL pre-GreeN+.
"VARIETY" and "COLLABO" genres existed from GreeN+ to ORANGE+. Songs in these two genres were split into other genres since PiNK.
"VARIETY" in _~GreeN is just Vocaloid + Touhou, and is different from "VARIETY" in GreeN+~ORANGE+. "GAME & VARIETY" in PiNK != "GAME" + "VARIETY" in ORANGE+.
BMS songs, added since GreeN+, are always in the "(GAME &) VARIETY" genre.

Irregular genre
- Before CHUNITHM AIR, Irodorimidori songs that are also Touhou Project arrangements (Help me，あーりん! and なるとなぎのパーフェクトロックンロール教室) were categorised as 東方Project songs.
- Before CHUNITHM STAR, Imperishable Night 2006 (2016 Refine)'s genre was VARIETY (due to its status as a BMS song).
- In CHUNITHM STAR, some songs in the GAME genre were moved to the POPS & ANIME genre instead of VARIETY. Oddly, All I Want, despite being an existing song not made for a game, was not one of them. The moved songs are:
- In CHUNITHM CRYSTAL PLUS only, Team exclusive (チーム限定) songs are their own genre.
