Here's a summary of the post:
Kana was diagnosed with adjustment disorder in January 2018 and he told the president of B'Forest Inc., but the president didn't understand and told him he was sick and fired him.  In March he got an attorney and in June he filed a lawsuit against the president for power harassment and for money he was owed.  In the first trial it was confirmed that B'Forest Inc. owed Kana 3.2 million yen and that the president did indeed partake in power harassment.  The court ordered B'Forest Inc. to pay Kana 3.7 million yen.  However the president made an appeal, and at the appeal hearing in August 2020 they reached a settlement in Kana's favor of 3.3 million yen and an apology for the president's lack of consideration towards Kana's disorder.  Kana received the settlement in September. 

He couldn't write about it before because it was part of the trial, but he had been suffering from power harassment for years and eventually developed adjustment disorder because of it.  Apparently the president never admitted to power harassment.  Kana does not forgive the harassment and was initially adamant about the court's decision because he didn't want it to keep happening to his former label mates, but after the president appealed he just decided to accept the settlement.  He wants his former label mates to be paid properly or to stop working for the label.  He also made it a point to say that the president did apologize so no one should slander him or harass him because of this. 
 
In regards to how he's doing he says he is physically and mentally healthy.  The trial took a long time and he had to get treatment for his disorder but he's glad he worked so hard and was rewarded by the trial.  He didn't want to leave all the people that were concerned about him without answers, and he wanted to talk about his feelings over the last two and a half years, so this is why he made the post now.  He would like to return to the stage again some day and hopes everyone is doing well during these times.

What I got via machine translation is that he had adjustment disorder, and president of B' FOREST fired him.  Also he sued the president for unpaid remuneration of roughly 3 million yen and power harassment.
 
^Seems to mean that his former labelmates are still going unpaid?
 
Someone with actual japanese knowledge please summarize this.

They did.
Wasn't ready to record. I was busy as well, had to work but listened in the background.
I assume it was all recorded to issue DVD later.

虹彩☆RaveL will disband this March after playing one more live in Tokyo and Osaka.
More details will follow soon.
 
 
I will update all details later on vk.gy.
Please wait a little bit more until I receive more details officially! thanks : 3

Own comment; I already expected this happen since last year; almost no lives; no design requests etc. 
Also fans suggested that they will disband soon since September or so.. 
So for me it doesn't come as a shock to.. I was waiting for it... 

For the next 2 weeks I will enjoy my very first Japan-trip. As I will visit 4 concerts in this period I thought you may be interested in a report of the shows.
 
February 15, 2020 - Buglug, Arlequin, Kizu (Man only) - Meguro Rokumeikan

 
So this will be it: My first concert on Japanese ground! I was beyond excited. The concert was scheduled for 5:30. We went there early to avoid any troubles. In front of the venue a nice guy from Israel spotted us and gave us some useful tips for attending a concert in Japan (the entrance system, behaving etc.) Thanks for that man! He also told us that this venue is legendary one. Especially known for X Japan shows in their indies. 
We entered the venue after climbing some stairs down. It was much smaller then I expected. I would say it has a capacity of 150~200. There were no boundaries in front of the stage so the atmosphere is really  intimate. 
 
Arlequin (アルルカン) started the evening. Of course I am familiar with the name of the band but never dared to listen to them. But wow - they were great! They really really had fun with the man only gig. Aki pumped us with shouting Otoko!! several times. He even grabbed his guts lol. He did some stage diving between one song. I really liked his stage performance and the rest of the band was great too! I will definitely get into their discography. They played around 45 minutes. I can‘t report a setlist, sorry. 
 
Second band was (finally) Kizu (キズ). They were the main reason for choosing this concert as I really ship them! So this report will be very long. 😁
As not being the headliner you could see that most of the fans came for Kizu. So as their intro started the venue was pumped!
Lime‘s outfit was a mix between a vampire and the Joker. He had a long black cape, joker makeup (the Heath Ledger one) and hair extension. 
Reiki looked as usual with his short trousers. But his hair is grown much longer. 
Yue had a very dandy look with his hair combed back. He wore a black suit which was open so you could see his upper body. 
Kyonosuke had an interesting look with combed back hair too and a black ruffled indefinable top.
 
They started with Heisei which is so much better live! Lime played a second guitar. 
Next song was Buta also a very nice live experience. 
Then Jugo - and omg what a madness. So much headbanging and Furi. Same with the following Elise.
I‘m not a big fan auf Kuro ame but I have to admit the song is beautiful live. Lime sang the first verse without microphone and that gave me shivers. You could also see that the song is very emotional for the whole band.
The silence after Kuro ame was short as they played Oshimai - fuck yes! It was wild. Reiki did his guitar flip and the crowd was insane. 
Last song was Kizuato - forget what I was saying about Oshimai... this song was insane! That breakdown in the end. 😱 I hoped that they play it and I was so happy. 
And this was it. A 45 minute concert which felt like 10 minutes... If you have any chance to watch them, do it!
 
Setlist キズ:
平成
豚
十五
ELISE
黒い雨
おしまい
傷痕
 
And last but not least BugLug entered the stage. They were the headliner for the show. I‘ve never heard one song of them so I was excited to see what they may deliver. Light went out and a SE started to play as someone tiped my shoulder. It was the lead singer lol. They surprised us and came from the entrance straight through the audience to the stage. They shouted something with a megaphone. That was really cool. Next surprise: Before they started to iniateted a wall of death. Neat!
They did a really good and entertaining show with stage diving, moshing, fan service etc. While the last song the singer came right into the audience and sang the whole song there and even started to mosh. 
Great band but their music is not my cup of tea. (Please don‘t kill me dear BugLug fans!)
They also played 45 minutes. I don‘t know their songs but I took a picture of their setlist if someone is interested.
 
So this was it! A great concert with left us all with smiling faces. next one is the Meme Oneman on February 18.
 
I hope you liked this review and didn‘t fall asleep while reading. I will soon write again after the next concert.

Stayin' sharp and consistent since 2010 to this very day. To me they're what Lynch is to others without the perpetual disappointment; they always release sort of the same thing and it's prime top shelf Royzcore that does exactly what I want it to. Imagine that it's like ordering a good drink in a bar where you've done it a thousand times before, but it's high-octane new visual that looks awesome and makes you unwilling to buy any of their singles because the types come with different track lists. Anyway, good stuff and easily the best band on BP atm imo. For an introduction I'd say try their second album, tho I've seen people insist that they jumped some sort of a shark after the first but I don't see it

He will be helping and doing various different projects as part of V STAR PROMOTION!
Also please be sure to follow John's twitter @jo_hn95 to keep up to date with his work and projects!

Lol, planning since 2015?
Just according to keikaku.

He got exposed by one of his label kouhai's on twitter saying that all money that they get with their band went to Avanchick, especially to Noah use with prostitutes etc.
His junior also exposed that he was such a shitty person with LINE chats prints. Then Noah said it was all bullshit and he would call his lawyers. Then a girl tweeted him "Should i also call a Lawyer and tell him that you sleeped with me when i was underage?"
