The Times They Are A-Changing, Part 2

The Walkman - whose original model was once Sony's signature product - will no longer be made in Japan.

Sony Corporation announced on January 26 that by the end of March it will close a factory that began producing the Walkman music players in 1979 and shift production of Walkman brand products to plants in Malaysia and China.

The Walkman has sold more than 350 million units worldwide since 1979.
