In December 1978, Ibuka said to Morita, "Don't you think a stereo cassette player that you can listen to while walking around is a good idea?" Two months later, Morita called a meeting at Sony HQ. He held up a model of the first ever portable music player and said, "This is the product that will let young people listen to music all day – they'll take it everywhere with them." Four months later, the Walkman® was released. They brought their skills together to create a truly unique and innovative Sony product yet again. It's a tradition that we continue today.
