Diwata 2 is not a cubesat and, contrary to Diwata 1, it is not designed for ISS deployment. Diwata-2 will fly with GOSAT-2 on a H-2A-202 rocket.

Thanks for correction, but Diwata 1 was neither a cubesat.

Airbus delivers new life support system for the ISS
Quote
Friedrichshafen, 19/03/2018 – Airbus has delivered the ACLS (Advanced Closed Loop System), an advanced life support system to purify air and produce oxygen for the International Space Station (ISS). The system also produces water, more or less as a by‑product of the technology. ACLS was developed by Airbus for the European Space Agency (ESA) and is set to be used as a technology demonstrator on the ISS from summer 2018.

The ACLS extracts a portion of the carbon dioxide in the cabin atmosphere and, using hydrogen obtained from splitting water molecules, converts it to methane and water in what is known as the Sabatier process. Oxygen is then produced from this water using electrolysis. This increases overall system efficiency and reduces the need for supplies from Earth.

The ACLS will now be installed in the HTV-7 space transporter at the Tanegashima Space Center in Japan and is due to be transported to the ISS in August 2018.

Because my first guess was wrong, I suggest these cubesats as a candidate for HTV-7:
- BHUTAN-1 , MAYA-1 and UiTMSAT-1 as part of the BIRD project

- STARS-Me A Mother and B Daughter

It's very interesting! It's possible to use this  small capsule in the other flight of HTV?

As I have learned today, the BIRDS-2 satellites will launched already in June 2018, so we can exclude them from HTV-7.

Today I got to help out with the review of procedures to robotically upgrade the batteries on the #ISS. We did previous power channels during #HTV6 and will be doing 2 more channels as part of the #HTV7 mission.

Thanks for sharing the HTV-7 press-kit. Even though I can't read a word of Japanese, the images were very informative. Points I learned from the press-kit:
- LSG (Live Science Glovebox) takes a whole rack /HRR (HTV Resupply Rack).
- a payload attachment frame will be placed on the bulkhead without hatch. Is this new?
- The LHPE (Loop Heat Pipe Radiator) is a external experiment that will be mounted on the MPEP (the standard JEM Airlock removable table)
- It looks like JAXA is following Nanoracks by also offering a 48U cubesat deployment system for the MPEP, from 2020.
They started with 2x 3U, followed with 4x 3U and now 8x 6U. They also offer a 50kg containerised deployer.
- The small reentry capsule (HSRC) will launch inside the pressurised section of HTV. I understood that it will be placed in front of the hatch after hatch closures.
- on the unpressurised pallet 6x Li-ion and 6x battery replacement plates will be launched. 9x NiH2 batteries will be trashed.
During the period HTV is attatched to the ISS, via EVR (Canada arm2) six NiH2 batteries will be R&R'd (Removed & Replaced) by the six Li-ion batteries. A furter three NiH2 batteries will be removed via EVR. An EVA is required to place the six inhibitor plates. Three will be replacements for the three NiH2 batteries removed via EVR. Three will be placed in between the battery attatchment systems and a NiH2 battery.
The six Li-ion batteries replace 12x NiH2 batteries. During HTV6 the batteries at S4 were replaced. During HTV7 the P4 batteries will be replaced. AFAIK, HTV8 & HTV9 aree also manifested for battery replacement.
That's what I got from the press-kit.

On this mission, HSRC is not only reentry module, one more reentry module is packed with H-IIB second stage lower section. This rocket reentry data acquisition system is for re-entry data collection via iridium satellite. Not recovery.

Detail is following (Japanese article)

ISS Daily Summary Report – 8/29/2018

H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV)-7 Proximity Communication System (PROX) Review and Checkout: Today the crew reviewed procedures and configured the PROX system for three days of upcoming ground commanding and systems checkouts. HTV missions use the PROX system for communication between HTV and ISS. Crew commanding to HTV via PROX utilizes a Portable Computer System (PCS) version of the Hardware Command Panel (HCP). This week’s checkout includes sending PCS HCP commands to a Ground Station (GS) at Tanegashima, Japan to verify the functionality of this capability prior to HTV launch, planned for 10-September.

Three ultra-small satellites to be installed in "Konomori" Unit 7 were handed over to JAXA. It was ready for launch and shipped to Tanegashima!
Quote
"Kotonori" Unit 7 has ultra-small satellites jointly developed by Kyushu Institute of Technology and Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, as well as ultra-small satellites developed by Lehman Sat Spaces and Shizuoka University, It is housed in a satellite mounting case of JAXA 's small satellite release mechanism (J - SSOD) and transported to ISS. It is the tenth mission as CubeSat release using J - SSOD which we have been implementing since 2012. As for SPATIUM-I, it is based on a strategic partnership agreement between JAXA and Kyushu Institute of Technology to release ultra-small satellite from "Kibo" Japan Experiment Module.
