In order to gradute, you must have a reason. After all, "graduation" means moving forward with your life. Riho has a goal and is ready to start her new journey. The other girls don't. From the existing members, Harunan is currently most likely. She has various places she decicate herself (radio personality, TV personality, modeling), plus she has connections.

Eripon isn't as settled as Harunan. She's definitely a TV personality and is currently targeted in the sports area, but it doesn't seem clear what she would do afterwards. After all, all we know is that she expects herself to be a housewife 10 years from now. :/ Even if H!P are probably pushing the older, more senior members by now, it'll be a while for Erina to graduate unless she soon gives up showbiz. But hey, at least she has become a reliable senior (according to 12ki).

I think Sakura probably could also be a possible future graduate, since her goal is to become a soloist. If she graduates within 1-3 years, I can see her staying in H!P and keeping a decent amount of fans.
