Quoting @WotaInTranslation:

''Today's papers report that Tsunku has begun rehabilitation to become able to speak using his esophagus; has no intention of using a machine.

"I will get my voice back. I want to speak in my own voice again, no matter what." This type of rehabilitation typically takes about a year.''

Here's Wikipedia on esophogeal speech. Search YouTube for the term and you can see quite a few examples of it in action.
