FC Pamphlet #45: Aiba's 100Q

[maiaide]

The new issue of the fan club pamphlete came in the mail today. I bring you Aiba's 100Q! It was so much faster than last time since I already had the questions translated. Does anyone know where I can find AU/Docomo emoji gifs? Much appreciated. I also made some edits to Nino's 100Q and fixed some mistakes I found. Aiba's interview was at times more enjoyable than Ninos. I definitely had some laughs.

Translation notes at the end.

2 1.0 = 20/20. Boy doesn't need glasses at all! (Thanks, elizajet!)
3 Game for Nintendo DS.
4 あっ!?　ヤベぇ。
5 ぞくぞくする感じ. The definition I found for ぞくぞくis “tingly” so I guess he’s referring to soaking in a hot bath.
6 He says ２の線, I have no idea what that means.
7 かっこいい
8 イケメン
9 五臓六腑
10 When a team wins an important game/tournament (especially baseball) in Japan, they shake beer cans and spray them all over each other. Much like in car racing, the winner sprays champagne.
