Advalife Science is sponsoring the Japanese film 4 Out — Play Ball Again, scheduled for release in Japan on 6 November 2026. The English title used here is a translation for readers’ reference; the original Japanese title is 『4アウト ─もう一度、プレイボール─』.

Starring Masaki Aiba, the film is inspired by the true story of the formation of a baseball team for people with physical disabilities. It follows people who find the courage to pursue their goals anew through a shared passion for baseball.

The title draws on baseball’s three-out rule: even after setbacks, life offers another chance to step up to the plate and begin again.

We support people with disabilities in pursuing their aspirations, participating in sport and engaging in community life. Through our sponsorship, we hope to foster a greater understanding of disability sport and encourage wider support for each person’s potential.
