Hello everyone!
Once again, Aki_the_geek has done us the honor of translating more interviews for us! Here is a compiled list for you to read! ^_^
AND, I'd like to thank MariusOfTheSea for bringing up information about the Talk Show with us too (with possible hints about a Season 2)!
So first things first, the All-Night Marathon!~
According to AnimeNewsNetwork: "The all-night marathon of the Yuri!!! on Ice anime began on Saturday with the unveiling of the latest visual. The visual features the main characters in a group shot":
"The "Mada Mada Kassō Shichau yo! Yuri!!! on Ice Talk Show & All-Night Jōeikai" (We're Still Gonna Keep on Gliding!! Yuri!!! on Ice Talk Show & All-Night Screening) started at 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, and will continue until about 4:00 a.m early Sunday morning. Not only are co-creator Mitsurou Kubo and voice actors Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Yūri Katsuki), Junichi Suwabe (Victor), and Kouki Uchiyama (Yuri Plisetsky) appearing in a talk show at the event, but the screening allows people to bring banners and clap, shout, or sing along to show their support.
Over four dozen theaters are live-streaming the event, and each attendee receives a bonus paper fan with a set of 14 stickers, so attendees can choose which character to display on the fan and root for."

Q & A's!
Q: Why is Viktor so cold towards JJ?
Kubo: He simply doesn't find him that interesting. (laughs)
Viktor forgets JJ's name, but that's because he's the type to not bother with remembering things and people he holds no interest in.
Viktor doesn't look down on JJ, and it's not like they don't get along. He really simply doesn't find him that interesting.
Q: Is Viktor worried about the hair on top of his head?
Kubo: I think he's more worried about his hairline. (laughs)
Q: Who's the hottie who hangs with Chris?
Kubo: He's from the Swiss Skating Federation. I created him so Chris doesn't feel lonely. (laughs)
I'm not going to declare what's his relationship with Chris, but I can tell you we think he's a former ice dancer.
Kubo: When drawing crying Viktor, I make sure his tears drop from the tips of his eyelashes and not spill down his cheeks.
Kubo: People who are not used to crying do so without changing their expression, without wiping their tears, letting them fall down.
Kubo: I've been sketching Viktor crying like this starting from a series of meetings with the director.
Kubo: Phitchit hasn't told Yuuri about his dream to hold an ice show in Thailand because he wants to continue surprising him.
Kubo: I've been talking with Yamamoto about all the things we would like to do if we could work with YoI's team once more.
Kubo: However, I can't do anything on my own, and would need to do more research to gather new ideas.
Kubo: However, we, the YoI team, would be the most lonely if we were to never meet with our characters again.
Kubo: Actually, I'm going overseas with Yamamoto soon (laughs), so I'm thinking about discussing the future of YoI with her then.
AAANNDD, Aki retweeted a status from "michellescarlett" that says: "There will be a new unreleased omake by Kubo-sensei in the upcoming dvd?!!"
And that's about it for the All-Night Marathon for now (due to Aki's nearly-dead battery XD)!
Hopefully we'll get more and keep you all informed!

Now to other things! Aki also translated the Otsuka Interview along with a very short interview with Hiramatsu, the designer in PASH, soon after the Kubo Crea Commentary
Here are some tid-bits from Hiramatsu!
"Skaters from America and Europe have stronger builds, are more muscular, and have bigger butts, so I paid attention to that."
"Viktor is slender and long-limbed, so this applied more to skaters such as Chris and JJ."
"Director Yamamoto was very serious about firm skater butts, so I made sure everyone was appropriately developed in that area."
"The way Yuuri's expressions were changing as he got better and grew more confident was very memorable to me."
"On a slightly different note (laughs) I put a lot of effort into Georgi's expressions."
"The design that took me the most time to fully decide on was Yuuri's."
"Yuuri's face changes a lot - he looks a bit absent-minded off ice, but becomes a completely different person while skating."
"Yurio was one of the easiest designs. In my brain, I was basically drawing him like a girl."
"It's not like Viktor's hair is thinning. He just has a wide forehead."
"I sometimes draw Viktor with a shining forehead for laughs, but if you overdo it, he really does look balding." (laughs)
"Kubo was the one who decided Viktor should have silver hair."
"Around ep 1, we had quite a lively discussion regarding how to portray the characters' nipples." (laughs)
"It feels like there is something missing without nipples, but they look weird when you overdo them..."
"We discussed what to do about areolas and whether to draw nipples or not. We passed on solid lines because they felt too raw."
"...Basically, there was a lot of discussion going on when it came to nipples, but we managed to reach a compromise."
"We would never have made it through the harsh production times without the fans' support. YoI became a big hit thanks to you!"
______________________________________________________________
On a side note, Aki mentions a few things Kubo confirmed about Otabek and Yurio!~
Q: Is it true that there's an article in PASH saying that Otabek's hobby in private is DJ-ing?
Aki: It's true, Kubo confirmed it! She also said Otabek has a lot of mischievous friends and is a bit of a cool street boy kinda type.
Kubo also mentioned Otabek has a lot of qualities Yurio does not have but aspires to and this is why he finds Otabek cool.
According to Kubo, Otabek doesn't care about who's the senior and who's the junior and Yurio was happy that Otabek wanted them to be equals.

*Takes a deep breath* OKAY, ALRIGHT! I hope you enjoyed reading all of this, as I did too! ;^;
Again, please give your love and support for Aki_the_geek for all the translations and any YOI news to keep us living and breathing!
Thank you and have a nice day! <3
