Called≠Plan’s "New" Drummer

Two days ago we reported on the Visual Kei band Called≠Plan and their new single. We also wrote that they have worked with support drummers for 3 years and that it seems like the band doesn’t want a permanent drummer.
Now the members changed their minds.

According to their official blogs support drummer Karen will stop his support activities next month and Called≠Plan decided that Guitarist Rei will be the band’s drummer starting his activities as drummer in April.
They didn’t give details on the time span, if Rei returns to be a guitarist in the future or which instrument he's going to play on lives but it seems like it’s not just a temporal state.
