去年就預告過的UNIQLO x UNDERCOVER所合作的『UU』系列,是今年春天UNIQLO即將獻給消費者的全新設計師系列,高橋盾以「家族」為主題進行,以UNIQLO要求的高品質基本休閒服,結合UNDERCOVER獨特的時尚設計感,提供大眾全新的時尚家庭穿著選擇,不論是嬰兒服、童裝、男女裝一應俱全,而最近也公布了一系列拍攝花絮的照片,在現場也可見高橋盾本人親自上陣整裝督導。
而就在發售前夕,身為高橋盾亦師亦友的藤原HIROSHI也在自己的BLOG發表了篇MY WAY (for UNDERCOVER)的混音單曲。根據HIROSHI自傳《山丘上的龐克》裏頭表示,多年前自己就曾為了UNDERCOVER跨刀多次製作展示會用的曲目,而許多歌曲都是拿經典歌曲在做混音,十分有趣,只是目前電腦裏頭只剩下這首,甚是可惜。
這首《MY WAY》根據金氏世界紀錄,此曲站上最多藝人翻唱的冠軍曲目之一(感謝網友指正),原唱是法蘭克辛納屈 (Frank Sinatra)這位囊括11座葛萊美獎加冕,同時得到「終身成就」、「傳奇」、三座奧斯卡、總統自由勳章…眾多頭銜,堪稱20世紀最偉大的歌手,最著名的單曲也就是這首My Way,在藤原HIROSHI的混音雙聲帶交錯之下,讓整體時而慵懶時而振奮,帶點詼諧卻似乎也隱隱帶出藤原HIROSHI對於高橋盾的期許和勉勵。
My Way
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life thats full.
I've traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say – not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows –
And did it my way!
