It looks like only the DEN-NRT and NRT-DEN nonstops for April 1-9 are on the ITA calendar, but the other April nonstops are gone. The nonstops are still on the schedule in May except for May 9 and 10.
As for flights in May, June, and later, it seems more likely that they'd push the DEN traffic to existing TPAC routes rather than switch the 787 for another gauge. At the beginning of the summer travel season, there probably aren't any idle heavies to put on the DEN-NRT nonstop route.
