Cross Point is the sixth album and the fifth studio album by Casiopea, recorded and released in 1981. This is the band's second album to be created and produced with Harvey Mason. Casiopea did a domestic tour in late November and December after this album, which inspired the Mint Jams concert sessions in February of the following year.
The album's name has a double meaning: first referring to an intersection for roadways, like on the cover art, and secondly, as it says on the LP's OBI paper strip: "The music scene has reached as new cross-point."
This is the first album fully recorded with Mukaiya's GS-1 synth, gifted to him by YAMAHA.
There's a pamphlet inside the that is a telling of the band's history, written by bassist Tetsuo Sakurai.
