is a song by Japanese rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation. It was released as the single on February 20, 2013, and it was used as the theme song for the 2013 film, A Story of Yonosuke.[1]
The music video for "Ima wo Ikite" was directed by A Story of Yonosukes director, Shūichi Okita.[2] The video features Kengo Kora as a college student (like in the film's story), living together with his friends. Band members appear in a cameo, where they and the college students look at an attractive girl. This is the second time Kora appeared in Asian Kung-Fu Generation's music video after Shinseiki no Love Song.[3] [4]
