The Japanese reading is いま which means now.

ima!! I told you I'd feel stupid.

今 is いま, or "now/current/presently/etc." It's Sino-Japanese reading is コン. As in こんにちは. The native Japanese reading is いま, or 今、愛に行きます, a good Japanese movie from a few years ago

Very few of us would say 「会いにゆきます」 if ever. We say 「会いにいきます」.

いや、それは映画の題名です。

Wikipedia: いま、会いにゆきます

[KyleGoetz]

Yeah, 【今、会いにゆきます】。ドホホ、オレ間違えちゃった ジャン！49(ToT)49

長い間全然見てないから題名を忘れた。でも、題名の「 ゆきます」の意味は「行く」じゃないか。５年前、ホー ストファミリーにきいた。「うん、そうだかも。」

んで、「いく」も「ゆく」も「行く」の読み方だろうな 。

Edit: I was listening to 紅白歌合戦第５９回 earlier, and the enka singers do sing 行く as ゆく. Of course, enka pronunciation conventions are hardly demonstrative of a typical Tokyo accent. But then again, I speak the yotsugana like I'm from Oita or Fukuoka and the ga like I'm a Tokyo broadcaster :| So I'm not trustworthy on standard phonetics.
