Def Tech's Micro to Release His Debut Book of Inspirational Words in March 2026

Def Tech's Micro Announces Upcoming Book Release

In an exciting announcement, Micro, the renowned vocalist of Def Tech, has confirmed the release of his debut book, titled "Waves of 366 Words". Scheduled to launch on March 5, 2026, by Ushio Publishing, this book aims to resonate deeply with readers as it encapsulates Micro's life experiences and wisdom.

A Unique Literary Journey

Unlike traditional works focused solely on music, Micro's book is crafted with heartfelt intent to connect with his audience through the written word. This collection features a series of essays and poems that highlight pivotal moments in Micro's life, allowing readers to engage with his journey on multiple levels.

The book is divided into two parts. The first section, entitled "Memories of the Waves: The Breath of Poetry - Micro’s History," weaves together autobiographical elements told through Micro's own voice. It traces his journey from childhood, through the founding of Def Tech, to the inspiring creation of his signature track, "My Way." This narrative covers significant career milestones, including the group's breakup and subsequent reunion, solo ventures, and his enduring aspirations that continue to shape his artistic identity. Each chapter is interspersed with short poems authored by Micro himself, presenting an intimate glimpse into his thoughts and feelings.

Adding a modern twist, these poems include QR codes linked to audio recordings of Micro reading the text. This innovative feature allows the written words to resonate in a new dimension, giving life to the pages through Micro's own voice.

Everyday Inspiration for Readers

The second part of the book, aptly named "365 Days + 1 Day of Encouraging Words," offers daily affirmations designed to uplift readers. Whether it's during the rush of a busy morning or a reflective evening, each page serves as a gentle push to motivate individuals through their day. Micro, known for creating uplifting songs, now presents an alternative medium to inspire and encourage his fans.

In his commitment to giving back, part of the book's proceeds will go towards environmental conservation efforts, specifically contributing to organizations dedicated to marine and ecological preservation. By addressing environmental issues, Micro hopes to express gratitude for the natural world that continually inspires him.

A Glimpse into Micro's Childhood Dreams

As a special feature, the book will also include childhood writings from Micro's elementary school graduation booklet, where he dreamed of becoming a novelist. This nostalgic touch bridges the gap between Micro's youthful aspirations and his current achievements as a musician and creative artist, manifesting a symbolic connection to his roots as a storyteller.

A Timely Release Amidst a Concert Tour

The timing of this book's release is noteworthy, occurring just before Micro’s solo concert tour "Def Tech Micro: LIVING ROOM LIVE season 2." It presents an opportunity for fans to connect with Micro on a different level, emphasizing the power of words in a realm apart from the stage.
