According to the interview summary posted here http://akankore.doorblog.jp/archives/34779935.html they revealed that there would be a new torpedo cruiser, saying that it would be "that girl who had been planned to be a torpedo cruiser".

The jp wiki on torpedo cruisers ( http://waa.ai/gsf ) indicates that it was planned to convert Kiso in to a torpedo cruiser, but never actually done.

Combined with their other comments, I think there's a pretty good case for Kiso being the light cruiser getting updated this maintenance, and that the update will be in to a torpedo cruiser like Kitakami and Ooi.
