Based on the list above, do you think it's correct or not?
Not really important but I really want to know other people opinions about this.

Party Queen has influences from Dubstep, Chiptune/8bit, 80s Disco and typical Japanese cutesy pop.
NaNaNa seems correct to me, but there's some more crossover influences, compareable to the music m.o.v.e makes.
Shake It is more on the rock side, but the breakdown is a huge Dubstep influence again.

call and Letter I would place more in the "Soft Pop/Rock" or "Mellow Rock" categories, but influenced by classic rock(think Beatles era) and recent Indie
reminds me is Orchestral Rock, similar to some of the orchestral rock anthems of the 80s
Return Road has a Baroque influence. But Symphonic Rock works.
Tell Me Why is just a blend of Pop, RnB and Dance music, nothing Greek about it aside the composers.

the next LOVE and Eyes, Smoke, Magic are both Jazz, but mainly influenced by musicals rather than "pure" Jazz, Eyes, Smoke, Magic goes into the Swing direction a bit, but also towards Burlesque.

How beautiful you are is a traditional pop ballad with slight gospel influences and a rather westernized melody.

"real" jazz is kinda far away from those two tracks. They are slightly jazz and mostly musical and burlesque inspired,like isthisLOL? said, but I don't know what genre they should be called.

the next LOVE is Prohibition-Era Orchestral Jazz, and Eyes, Smoke, Magic is Cabaret Jazz. Though those are more descriptions rather than formal genre names.

Ok, thanks for explanation so far!
I guess I should learn about music more.

It's a pop album pure and simple.
It has influence from all types of other music, but what "genre" doesn't do that...

all music now a days is so mixed and what not....

Well, compared to most Pop singers' studio efforts Ayumi is much more diverse. Some of her songs leave Pop behind enough to be considered another genre entirely, though I agree most songs remain Pop in the end. She only has a couple "real" rock songs for example, while she has some 30 or so rock-influenced tracks.

I agree that she has a lot of influences in her songs...
but I think at the end of the day she would be considered pop which all those influences combined.
I mean, I know on party queen the tracks in the middle of the album are huge Rock influences, but at the same time they are so infused with the pop elements that it makes me think of pop...
Which is what I was think about earlier... Pop music is just popular, thats where the pop comes from, so pop in itself is a mix of all different music combined, which i think a lot of people forget.
