Yes, Daisuke already announced that they're keeping Bayadere. Check out his Instagram.

LOL yes, I was wondering about that last week, before they announced on the 14th.

BTW there is a choreographer missing from the RD as both Dai and Kana wrote his name in Japanese. He is Koyo Yanai, a Japanese dancer, actor and choreographer who was also a member of the cast of Dai's Hyoen 2019.

Can't wait to see the new RD!

Thank you for providing his name in English.

In this June 14th article, his name machine translates to "Yasuhiro" Yanai (which is why I just copied out his name in Japanese ):
