``How do you live?'' is an original work by director Miyazaki, whose title was taken from Genzaburo Yoshino's novel of the same name . Although director Miyazaki himself has disclaimed that the film is not an autobiography, it feels like the film is somehow inspired by Miyazaki's own life. Up until now, Studio Ghibli films have usually had a fairly large-scale promotion when they are released, but for this film, information was extremely limited, and only one visual depicting a blue heron was released before the release. It was distinctive in that way.

Below is the music video for the theme song 'Geikyuu' by Kenshi Yonezu, which uses the main footage. The film was released approximately five months after the film's theatrical release.
