Monkey Marketing!

On July 1st 1979 (30 years ago) people could finally take their music with them in a small-portable fashion with a Sony Walkman!

It was a portable music player like today's popular iPod! Except it played cassettes. Everyone can trust a monkey. That's why Sony hired a monkey to help advertise its cool Sony Walkman.

The monkey featured in this video is named Mr.Choromatsu, who was an monkey-actor and died in 2007. He looked so relaxed - I wonder what music he was listening to?
