Sony Celebrity II. An expensive flagship unit produced in the "bubble" era of the mid to late 90's. It was said to be released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Sony's Music Group. Sony ran many sub companies at that time but if that refers to Sony Music Entertainment Japan which was incorporated on March 1968, that would mean the release date was sometime in 1998.
