The Governor of Hawaii is now in Japan in the participation of a formal ANA A380 presentation and I guess we can expect a major announcement within the next few days.
He will fly home on Tuesday. So it might be within the next 24 hours.

May 24...
May 24 will be the inaugural day with three weekly flights initially.
The frequency will go up when more A380s are delivered.
The new amenity kits look good.

Superior meals for Premium Economy over Economy for the first time. Seems to tie in with the changes to PY access for elites. I wonder if this will eventually be replicated across the fleet.

Does anyone have any insight on which NRT flight will be oped by A380 for May and June? (I think it depends if the NQ or NH crew gets trained as one of the two rotation (183/184) is oped by NQ, but cannot confirm...)

Not directly, Haneda does not allow A380 flights that time of day due to the wake turbulence. Only late night when the domestic flights wind down so they would also need to retime the flights.
Though I did not realise that they had a HNL flight from HND as well. So the split of slots is 4/2, somehow I thought it was 3/2. My bad.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think there is anything in the current bilateral that would restrict ANA from moving the departure back by 30-45mins to accommodate the A380 night ops requirement.

And though I don't remember the specifc time for the agreements on Haneda slots, there are specific numbers of night slots and of day slots defined. So yeah, not too easy to just shuffle.
Interestingly, despite having a night time departure in Haneda, Emirates use the A380 for Narita, and a 77W for Haneda. Could make me wonder if there are further complications in Haneda, of the master of A380 does not fly to Haneda with an A380
