In the 1970s and 1980s, when cassette tapes were at their peak, there were three major brands that led the industry. One of them was Sony. It
was a leading brand in cassette tapes from the early days, and was the only one of the three manufacturers that also had a role as an audio manufacturer that manufactured hardware. Let's
look back on the 50-year history of the company's cassette tapes, including each model and the Walkman that took the world by storm.
