Last Game (2008)

Last Game 2008 / ラストゲーム　最後の早慶戦 2008 / Saigo no Soukeisen

Set in 1943, baseball is banned in Japan as ‟a sport of the enemy country‟ as Japan is at war with the U.S. The baseball match between Waseda University and Keio University (the So-Kei game), which is hugely popular nationwide, is no exception. Despite the harsh conditions, Tobita Suishu (Akira Emoto), the staff advisor to the Waseda University baseball team, and Koizumi Shinzo (Koji Ishizaka), the President of Keio University, decide to make arrangements to hold ‟one last So-Kei game‟ to give a send-off to students who may be drafted to war at any time and may not return alive.
