"A New Vision Into Your Rock Life": CROSSBEAT was a monthly music magazine published by Shinko Music.
First published in 1988, the founding editor-in-chief was Toshifumi Morita, former editor of MUSIC LIFE.
It focused on European and American rock music, but also featured techno and hip-hop. Monthly publication stopped in 2012(?), and continued as a yearbook.
The special issues are called THE DIG.
