After investigating this further I've found that some players seem to be available to the Japanese league and some players are not but I can't find any reason why they should be different. I looked at my latest dump of my .csv files in the players.csv and compared two players (one who is available and one who is not) and can't find any notable differences. All of the league_ids look ok. If I sign a player with a Japanese team and then release them or otherwise remove them from the pool and return them they become visible to the Japanese teams again so this was not a 1-time error; it is some sort of persistent problem.
Being that this is an online league in the offseason we're stuck in a little bit of limbo. I'm probably going to have to take some temporary measures to get past it for this offseason but there is clearly some sort of problem here with some feature(s) that have been working for a long time and suddenly are not for whatever reason. I would be a bit disappointed if we had to modify a league that has been running for a significant number of seasons thanks to a bug being introduced that was never there before.
