Was reading anime related news and noticed that there will be new
animation of Aria called "ARIA The AVVENIRE", to celebrate its 10th
anniversary and will be shown on 2015.09.26.

In the eighth row of the cast list, it said :
Athena : Kawakami Tomoko

My brain freezed and had to reread the cast list to confirm.

I then proceed to go to the official site to check.

Turns out the producer wished to retain all the casts and director
Satou, original author Amano, and Tomoko's management agency
all agreed and respected the wish.
