Does anyone know if this film is still being manufactured and sold in Japan? I know it and the smaller 3000b was discontinued in the US but I've heard rumors that it was still being distributed in Japan.

The Fuji website clearly states that production of FP-3000B45 has been discontiniued:

Looking at major Japanese retailers, a check of Yodobashi Camera shows the same thing - sale of this item has been discontinued:
販売を終了しました
It no longer shows up at all on the Bic Camera website.
As always, there might be some remaining stock floating around - there appears to be a fair amount in quarter plate size, which has also been discontinued.
I suspect it is also discontinued.
As far as availability, Japan Exposures shows sold out. However, a Brooklyn big auction house seller has 3 for a deeply discounted of $177 each + shipping and a German seller has it for a little over $200 each.

Thanks gentleman. Disappointing, but not surprising.
Wow.... Didn't realize I was sitting on a gold mine. I have at least 4 boxes left....
