I'll admit that along with the lengthy amount of trolling that occurred during the 15ki announcement, there was a brief moment while Mizuki was announcing Kitagawa Rio's name that I briefly thought she was saying Ryo, even as I registered that she had previously given a different home prefecture. As tragic as the world events were though in the year that she was able to shortly make a home in @ria, she still seemed to find love with her fellow members before her graduation from the group. The pandemic also left the group in a position where it had no choice but to disband as well (videos from their channel, including the digest for Ryo's graduation, now unavailable), but we see it in full formation here:
Until Ryo is 25 though, I will continue to hope that we might see her return to H!P at some point in the future. Don't tell me the odds!
