RAN has announced that vocalist TAICHI will pause activities as he is suffering from mental stress and other health issues. He had been absent from their past live on 11/6 at Ikebukuro Edge, and he is still recovering at this time. There is no timetable for his return, but the band will continue with an unnamed support vocalist, so it should be temporary.

RAN has given more details on the incident that led to TAICHIâs hiatus and further revealed plans on a new lineup.
It started with a band meeting held on 10/26 detailing their oneman live, âjudgmentâ on 12/1, in which the band would restart activities with a new guitarist and drummer joining. However, Ba.Mogami Yoru was absent from this meeting, which pissed off TAICHI. Five days later, before the band was scheduled to perform at their Halloween live, TAICHI threatened to quit and walked out. He has since not returned, as further meetings were held without him, and the situation has still not been resolved. Although the label and RAN are still in contact with TAICHI, he is still refusing to continue activities, and as a result, producer CION (ex.VRZEL) has replaced him as vocalist for the time being, starting at their live on 11/10.
The oneman event also mentions RAN as a tentative name, so with the activity restart and new members, they may also change their name as well.

oh my goodness, that is something. im hoping they can resolve their disagreement and Taichi can return.
Lol, I finally liked a song from them (veil) and this happens
It sounds like Taichi is pissed since Yoru had a break came back but he canât show up for one meeting? I think there more to the story then just missing one meeting that would piss Taichi off enough to threaten to quit Ran has been his life since the very start of it

I like Tachi but if Cion joins Iâm super here for it! 
RAN will pause activities after their live on 1/22 and they have removed TAICHI from their social media and no further statements mention him along with the rest of the members. They have since canceled their appearance at the MASKED event that would take place in June.
