Ikitete Yokatta

[Machine Translation] Lived through death - Is this life a comedy or a tragedy? Ryu Kibata, a reimported actor, a talent recognized by Donnie Yen! He squeezed his body fat percentage down to 3% and turned his life around in his starring debut film! Directed and written by Taichi Suzuki, whose "Confessions of a Little Punk" ('12) won four awards at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival, including the Special Jury Prize. The action director is Kensuke Sonomura, who directed "Baby, Bad Kyure" ( 21 ). Co-starring in the film are a cast of unique and talented actors including Eri Kamataki, Hiroki Konno, Shuntaro Yanagi, Tadashi Nagai, Silver Dust Butterfly, and Shohei Hino. --Kusunoki Sota is a professional boxer who has gained popularity for his fighting style, which is to charge headlong into the ring against his opponents. However, years of fighting have taken their toll on his body, and a doctor's stoppage forces him to retire. He takes the opportunity of his retirement to marry his girlfriend, Sachiko, and start a new life, but he is completely useless in society and is made acutely aware of the harsh reality of his situation. One day, a man who claims to be a fan of Sota's receives an offer to fight for a large sum of money in an underground martial arts tournament, a place where desires run rampant... The prospect of fighting once again revives his almost forgotten excitement, and his adrenaline surges to fill the empty space in his body. Will the madness and honesty of a man obsessed with fighting have a happy ending or a bad one?
