An audio cassette spoken by Michael Jackson and made for Akio Morita the Sony co-founder, and inventor of the Walkman. The tape was made in October 1993 when Morita fell ill.

It was a healing tape that he had made himself on which he had recorded his own voices saying “Mr. Morita…Mr. Morita” many times, as well as phrases such as “Please get better”, “You will get better…you will speak again”, and a gentle song that he had chosen.

He also included a handwritten letter that said, “Play 3 times a day right before awaking before sleeping and mid day. Michael Jackson.” Mr Morita’s wife played the tape every morning for 10 minutes before Aiko got up and every night when she put him to bed for the six years until he passed away in 1999.
