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
