INI member Yudai Sano will continue his hiatus from group activities as he focuses on treatment for adjustment disorder.

According to an announcement on INI's official website, Sano had previously been diagnosed with the condition but continued participating in activities while undergoing treatment. 

Sano has been on hiatus since September 18. After further discussions between Sano and his agency regarding his current condition, it was decided that he would not participate in 2026 INI 5TH ANNIVERSARY DOME TOUR [CITY OF LIGHTS], scheduled for November 14 and 15 at Kyocera Dome Osaka.

The concerts will proceed as scheduled with the group's remaining 10 members.

Sano will also be absent from events related to INI's ninth single, "ANTHEM," as he continues to focus on his recovery. Further updates regarding his activities will be announced depending on his condition.
