Their seems to be a philosophy of kindness going on at Nintendo's customer support department, as they have a history of responding to adorable letters sent to them by kids. But even with their reputation for receiving heartfelt correspondence, they must have been taken aback with tears when they received a very special letter from Japanese Twitter user and father @kentarock1020's son--a blind fifth grader who simply wanted to thank Nintendo for his favorite video game--the only one he can play, but loves so much.

The son, Hibiki, was diagnosed with Binocular Retinoblastoma at just the age of one-and-a-half, and at the cost of young Hibiki's life being saved, he became completely blind. The text of the father's Tweet explains:

Here is the touching letter Hibiki sent to Nintendo.

We imagine that after reading that, it would be impossible not to respond. Not only did Nintendo reply, however, but they did so in a way that suggests they understood just how important it was for Hibiki to have a shot at enjoying a simple joy that he probably never imagined he could have, due to the cruelest of circumstances. As you can see in the original Tweet, not only did Nintendo send a letter back, they sent one in braille just for Hibiki to read!

While Hibiki is clearly very good at the Rhythm Tengoku series, it turns out his perseverance in trying to enjoy all the things other kids can isn't limited to video games. He's extremely talented at playing the drums as well! Attention from this touching story have landed Hibiki an offer from Radio Osaka to come and perform at a drumming event. Check out his unwavering skills below.

Hibiki's passion and talent in both video games and music seems to be visual proof of a philosophy his father expressed to IT Media, saying that "It's easy to think that having a disability = unhappiness, but it's not having a disability that makes you unhappy, but having a spirit that loses to that disability."
