2nd!!!! She looks so cute.

She’s one to keep an eye on - After stating her golf level, Eripon said “Oh thank goodness, it’s below mine”
And she replied with “But the uniform looks better on me”

[celestia414]

She may be our new utahime, based on the interview. We shall see though

oh i like her already than.
she is surely a visual too!

Out of the new 3 she's the one i'm most interested in. Rio gave of a really confident vibe. I have a feeling she is going to be a powerful performer right out of the gate.

[I♥Sayumi]

LOL I thought I heard Kitagawa Ryou from Hokkaido KSS at first.

Of the 3, based on first impressions, I think she's the most likely that I will follow.

Rio is the shining star of this gen. She's pretty, funny, confident and apparently a good singer though not sure if she's a utahime.

[XFER]

I can't wait to be bombarded with pictures! I want to get to know the new members soon

[IchVermisseDenSommer]

Didn't Fukumura tell her to say that uniform thing? lolol

Somehow her gaze reminds me of Haa-chin.

[jonski111]

somewhere out there a Japanese guy is searching and searching and stalking all twitters, facebook and instagram looking for her pictures. 

[YellowAccel]

So look like she didn't say she was a good singer but that she wanted to sing Sakura's line in Help! Me.

[Sugaya Risako]

she is beautiful and im glad she joined.

[yuumaa]

Fukumura interrupted Eripon and said Rio had something to say, which is when she said the uniform suited her more. She just needs to learn to interrupt her senpai haha. It was probably scripted but we need more kohai who can playfight with their senpai, especially Eri haha

[jonski111]

She is trending on Japanese twitter.

[melonpan♪]

She is gorgeous?? and a singer? I like her already.

She’s one to keep an eye on - After stating her golf level, Eripon said “Oh thank goodness, it’s below mine”
And she replied with “But the uniform looks better on me”

This makes me even more excited for her! I hope her talk skills are good, I need someone to stan in MM since Harunan graduated.
