FC Pamphlet #44: Nino's 100Q

[aide]

So instead of doing anything productive tonight (making gyoza from scratch, writing, beta reading), I translated. There was too much "Omfg, I can't believe I have to do this crap," thinly-if-at-all-vieled sarcasm not to. :D

Notes
¹ I think he's making a pun about colours, judging by the rest of his answers. 色=colour, 色色＝various.
² Another pun. 分野 means field or branch but he starts talking about infield and outfield instead.
³ Okay, after some (more) Googling, I think he means Lucien Michard, (ミシャールさん) a French cyclist, and Dorothy Hamill (ハミルさん), an American figure skater.

Maybe I'll translate the cross-talk from the Everything video shoot next. They talk about how it looked like a skate park and these kids at the location were shouting "Ossan, bye-byeee~!" to Ohno the whole time. XD

I love Nino's interviews. He must make reporters want to tear out their hair in frustration.

Sjfjhdkd, AMAZING.

[maiaide.livejournal.com]

I know right! They changed the format of the pamphlet. It's so pretty now. I wish I could scan it. It's all like newspapery and pastely and matte and beautiful. We get to see Ohno being an art nerd at a art gallery!

I love how he doesn't answer some things, and he's so blunt and specific like when he said he gets in and out of bed when he goes to sleep and wakes up, I basically just lobve how he answered all of these! XD
