Meet Ryo! He's a really sweet and remarkable dude. He has an incurable heart desease called Idiopathic Delated Cardiomyopathy, and since 2006, he's been in and out of surgery. In 2009, he had a stroke caused by irregular pulses. The result was the loss of his eyes. 

His friend Darrell sent me an email asking for a song to cheer him up. Ryo is amazing. He still takes pictures, and can use echolocation to get around...like a dolphin or a bat!

Ryo Hirosawa (Song A Day #1644)

He prefers to spell broccoli with an L, with an L
He uses echolocation to get around
He can tell you how far the nearest wall is
And he can tell you the height from the ceiling to the ground

Even though he lost his eyes
He still takes pictures all the time
Ryo Hirosawa 

He's always always smiling, so content and kind
He's studying to be an acupuncturist and a masseuse 
He's got friends all over the world
He loves the Bare Naked Ladies and David Foster Wallace 

He can comprehend both Japanese and english voice over
At the highest speed the iPhone can read
That's 4 to 5 times normal speech

He has temporary eyeballs and he wants green ones
But for some reason his doctor thinks he's nuts 
His friend Darrell wants him to play the wind synthesizer again
And I agree no ifs ands or buts
