"Just Live More" (stylized as JUST LIVE MORE) is a song by Japanese reggae band Shōnan no Kaze under the name "Gaim no Kaze" (鎧武乃風 Gaimu no Kaze), released on December 11, 2013. It serves as the opening theme song for the children's television series Kamen Rider Gaim.

Background

Shōnan no Kaze (or rather Gaim no Kaze) were first announced to be performing the theme song of the new Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Gaim at a press conference for the TV show in late July 2013.[1][2] In an interview at the conference, band member Red Rice felt honored that he would join the ranks of famous artists who have performed the series' theme songs. Shock Eye revealed he had long been a fan of the series as a child, and even in adulthood. Wakadanna spoke of how he liked the motorcycles and as a child wished he had one as well, as the show seems to have instilled a fighting spirit in those who watch it. Han-kun was jokingly critical about the show's fruit motif, but then said that he knew children would love the show.[3]

Three versions of the single were released: a standard CD only version, a CD and DVD dual disc set, and a special edition CD and DVD dual disc set that included a limited edition towel.
