Made an Appearance on Love FM ラジオ出演

After the song of "Ryo Hirosawa" is published on YouTube, I made a brief appearance in Love FM's Afternoon Delight show with Jonathan Mann and Darrell Smith the host. For the first half of the interview, Jonathan and Darrell is talking about the "Song a Day" project, followed by my echolocation and blind photography, in Japanese. I was told I speak only in Japanese because the radio show's target audience is Japanese people. If anyone wants to hear my voice, check the recording at the link below. Love FM Interview with Jonathan Mann and Ryo Hirosawa 先月LOVE　FMに出演しました。その時の音源が上のリンクで聞く事が出来ます。後半辺りにちょこっとだけ出ています。エコーロケーション、盲人の撮る写真について日本語で話しています。良かったら聞いてください。

Got New Eyes! - 新しい眼

Got a new custom-made prosthetic eyes!
Under low light, they look just like black as ordinary Japanese have, but the iris turne into green under a good lighting condition!
Here is a photo with the eye model. Do they look alike?

新しい義眼が入りました
目のモデルになってくれたのは彼
どこか似てるでしょ?

Blind hirosan's new Theme Song by Jonathan Mann - "Ryo Hirosawa"

I haven't laughed out loud this much for years since I lost my eyesight... until I heard this song: A song named after my name "Ryo Hirosawa" as Jonathan Mann's "Song A Day" project! It seems that Darrell talked to Jonathan about writing a song for me to cheer up after losing my eyes, and I didn't know until very recently! Thanks Jonathan and Darrell for a great cheer-up song: This "medicine music" takes in effect instantly, and absorbed deep in my heart!

Temporary Eyes - 仮義眼

My temporary prosthetic eyes are made of translucent plastic.
I want green eyes but my doctor and my parents are against it.

仮義眼は透明のプラスチック。本義眼は、どんな色にしようかな。

Clean Eye Socket

Nice and clean. Time for putting prosthetic eyes!

Black Eyes? - うっ血

Even after a couple of weeks since surgery.

2週間経っても、一向に腫れが引きません。

Post-Surgery Visitor - お見舞

A couple of days after the eye removal surgery, my friend Darrell came to see me. Thanks, Darrell!

The Last Photo with Real Eye

Due to blogger inaccessibilty, I cannot change the date, but this was the last day with my real eyes:The photo of me before eye removal surgery.

ブログのアクセス数が急にアップしたので、あわてて今までの写真をアップ・・・ とは言っても、GoogleのBloggerは、いかんせん視覚障害者に優しくなく、一度アップしたら、日付やコメントを変更できない・・・
ということで、とにかく最近の近況を報告。

この写真は、眼球摘出手術を受ける前日に撮ってもらったものです。

A 1000yen ($1) Burger

from McDonalds! Ht sees to be a quarter pounder with thick bacon and pineapples!
It tasted great but 1000 yen is too much.

マクドナルドの千円バーガー、食べてきました。うまかとですけど、値段が高い！せめて半額だったらなぁ。
