Casiopea concert chronology

The Cross Point Tour was the 5th concert tour by Casiopea, supporting their recently released album Cross Point. The tour spanned from the 12th of November 1981, to the 23rd of December 1981.

Overview

The Cross Point Tour was considered to be Casiopea's first national tour. There is some confusion on the first date of the tour, as some sources list it as the 12th of November 1981, and others list it as the 30th of November 1981. However, every source consistently lists that there are 13 locations, which must include Tochigi. This tour served as the basis for Mint Jams, which resulted in nearly identical costumes, instrumentation, stage layout, and similar songs. This is also the first documented instance of Casiopea playing a medley, a future staple of their tours. The medley technically doesn't have a title, but while introducing it Mukaiya mentions going back to their roots, and so it's sometimes referred to as Roots Medley.

Peter Robinson from CBS Records saw the Osaka concert of this tour and requested an album to be made that had the dynamism of Casiopea's live performances.

A ticket for their Sendai Civic Center Large Hall performance on the 8th of December.

Setlists

Out of the 9 songs on Cross Point, 7 were played during the tour. The two songs not played, Span of a Dream and Endless Vision, have never been played live.
