It depends on whether this is being used as a verb or an adjective. As the verb 'to live' as in a country, the word is sumu (or sumimasu in polite form). To say 'I live in Japan', it is 'watashi-wa Nihon-ni sumimasu.' (to make it 'I am living in Japan', it would change slightly, as it does in English, to 'Watashi-wa Nihon-ni sundeimasu'. For the verb 'to live' as in being alive, it is 'ikimasu'. The word ikebana, Flower Arranging, comes from this word.

To use live as in 'a live broadcast', the word 'nama' is used, which can also mean raw. A live broadcast is 'nama hoso.'
