Article from the official Tokio Hotel Forum Italy in BIG (IT) Magazine

2011-01-05T16:26:00.002-06:00

Since 2009, the THOIF (Tokio Hotel Official Italian Forum) substitute any gift to the band with a charity action that have donated more than 2.500€ from various institutions. These projects range from basic fundraising for earthquake victims in Abruzzo, to a collaboration with UNICEF, with which they have collected over 400€ by saling “Tokio-Pigotte” made by the same fans, with their idols style. Knowing the love for the animals of their idols (recently the Kaulitz twins have been the image of PETA’s campaign against the use of animals in circuses), for the birthday of Bill, Tom and Gustav, the fans adopted dogs and gave them the respective names. That dogs are nowadays the oficial pets of the forum. Last, but not least important, for 2010 Christmas, the fan club action consist in the contribution of the purchase of an ultrasound machine to the peadiatric oncology division of a hospital (action unfinished yet).

In addition to the initiatives of the official forum, there have been other humanitarion projects initiated by the autonomous forum : THOIFC (Original Fan Club of Tokio Hotel Italy), which is auctioning an autograph of Bill to donate the money to the people of Haití, and the THIFC (Italian Fan Club Tokio Hotel) has supported two campaigns to support a rare disease curable only out of the country. Similar grants were made by Malte di Tokiotellite (yes, there are adult fans, but not many) for earthquake victims in Aduzzo and people with difficulties, this should be added that this sensitivity to social issues of the Tokio Hotel fans is not just from the italian fans, similar projects have been launched in other european countries and in America… but Italy is by far the most active in this kind of actions !

Tokio Hotel's Page in Facebook is False

2011-01-05T16:17:00.000-06:00

As we all know, recently we informed you about a Facebook page called “Tokio Hotel Latin America”, that it seemed it was accredited by Universal Music. This was said that if by 15 January, it reached 25,000 people, Tokio Hotel will give a full tour in Latin America in 2011. Universal Music Mexico said this page is not accredited by Universal Music or the band, so if it reaches 25,000 people, Tokio Hotel will not give any tour in Latin America this year. In addition, the band is in the studio working on their new album which will be released later this year.

Another year comes to an end, yes, 365 days, where the city of Mexico and some parts of the interior of the Republic, were seduced by the presence of bands and solo artists. Some had new discs, played for the sheer pleasure of consenting to its faithful followers, while others could not go unnoticed and miss the chance to come to the country to offer the best of their repertoire. Twelve months, which were filled with great moments.

DECEMBER
The last month of the year was not far behind in terms of large inflows. It all started with 17 thousand people to see Tokio Hotel at the Palacio de los Deportes. Then it was turn to Jeff Beck, who sold out on 6

And to close with a flourish, Roger Waters filled three times the Palace (18, 19 and 21) with a total of 42 000 participants (14 thousand per night).

Plantao MIX TV Interview Translation (23.11.2010)

2011-01-02T17:01:00.002-06:00

Bill: Tom and I started very early, I think we had seven years and so I started singing and writing songs, and Tom began playing the guitar. Everything was very simple, I had a keyboard, but I couldn’t play all the instruments, just had to press a button to the sound of drums and bass. We were looking for people of our age, but it was very difficult to find someone, because we lived in a small town, so it was quite difficult. But we met Georg and Gustav, in one of our shows, we met them at a club in our hometown, and then it all started, and now we’ve been together for 10 years. We grew up together, we did everything together, and that’s how it started, yes.

Bill: Oh, there are some bands that everyone likes, such as Aerosmith, is a fantastic band or the Stereophonics that we all love. So yes, there are some bands, but never had a band you know, some influence, we have always done our own, and never did covers, from the beginning we did our thing. (Darkside Of The Sun)

Bill: No, it’s always different, we can not say ‘OK, this person, or Tom, or I have to write a song,’ no, we do everything together, because we produce, we entered the studio, we traveled together, we know since … Yes, I have spent many years, and we know very well over 7 years. And yes, just enter to the studio, we all give our ideas, and put everything together when we are in the studio. For us it is very important to be alone in the studio, we need not make public appearances, we don’t want to be in the media during this period, just being in the studio … It is very important for us to be focused on music and nothing else. And… yes, so sometimes Tom has ideas on the guitar, I have a melody in my head, and starts to sing, and so we started playing the four, and always a little different. Sometimes we schedule some things, some drums, a keyboard … yes, and it is always different.

Bill: We really are involved in everything. So it all comes from Tokio Hotel. Whether the cover of the new album, a video, really all about. When we are in the studio, when we record a song or something, I have an image in my head, and I know exactly what I want for the single, or recording a video. It is always well and sometimes you just have to find the right people and…

Tom: They help us …

Bill: They help us do what we do, but most of the time, we have the ideas, put everything on paper, and only look for the right people… So, yes, we always give our own ideas, because like this are our songs, if that’s your band, I think the band has to know what is best for the situation, yes.

Bill: I can not imagine …

Tom: Being a twin, it is easier I think, than a brother …

Bill: I can not imagine how it would work without Tom, because we spent all our life together, and every day we do everything together. I do not know, it was natural, normal, forming a band together, we are in the same band, we share the same house, it is very normal. I could never imagine a life without Tom to me. And that applies to him too.

Tom: No.

Bill Kaulitz on his way to become a serious pop artist

2010-12-24T16:14:00.000-06:00

Bill Kaulitz is a border crosser. The 21-year-old is a singer, model, advertising character and voice actor – and on his way to become a serious pop artist – but not everyone has noticed it yet.

They searched but didn't recognize him, as he stood in front of them. In the year 2003 Sat 1 [German TV channel] searched for a star, and met Bill Kaulitz. "Star Search" was the name of the Casting show. The 13-year-old Bill, his twin brother Tom and two friends "are making Independent-music according to their own statements", Kai Pflaume [moderator] explained back then, before Bill had entered the first TV stage of his life.

Breathlessly, the little boy with the Little-Vampire-hairstyle and black eyeliner around his eyes, sang the Weather Girls song "It's raining men" and was fidgeting frenziedly with his arms. Afterwards he had to listen to amusements about his flamboyant outfit. He was doing it politely and charming and turned towards the jury with a gorgeous smile.

Hugo Egon Balder [jury member] advised him to follow the comedy direction, because he said his voice is so "funny". Only Jasmin Wagner [another jury member], formerly known as "Blümchen" [engl.: floret; her artist's name], saw his potential. "Congratulations to this performance", she said obviously impressed: "You spare a record company a lot of work." Image advisers, styling experts – with Bill there is no need for all that. "You already bring along all of these things." She topped off with the sentence: "And I think if you continue, it can just go to the top." Balder and the other jury members chose an 11-year-old rapper instead of Bill though.

The friends, with whom the Kaulitz-brothers had already made music back then, are called Georg and Gustav. Nowadays the band is known as Tokio Hotel among all girls in Germany, Spain, Mexico, France, Canada, Israel and soon also the USA. But Bill's exceptional talent is still being unrecognized in a way. Maybe because of exactly those thousands and thousands of screaming girls.

Bill Kaulitz is a border crosser. He is a singer, model, advertising character and voice actor. With plenty of make up in his inconceivably pretty face, he overcomes the border between man and woman, which has an reflexive effect on the rumor that he's homosexual. May he confess not being gay as often as he wants. The sexual ambiguity simply belongs to his image – what confuses much more is, that his identical twin Tom goes around dressed up as normal boy. But Bill Kaulitz reminds of David Bowie, who had established the game with the gender roles as Ziggy Stardust only in the early 70's in the mainstream.

Nothing gets more punished among children than otherness. Obviously Bill has not cared about that all the while. Of course, he hated the school days in the 670-inhabitant-hicksville Loitsche. The reasons are obvious. How are pubescent most likely to react when seeing a guy with black dyed hair, whose hairstyle is as asymmetric as the style of his self-tailored pants? A rhetorical question. He's still doing his own thing unwaveringly. At the age of 9, the twins sing at village fairs, at the age of 12 they get to know Georg and Gustav in a club in Magdeburg and found the band Devilish. One year later, after Bill's performance at "Star Search", the music producer Peter Hoffmann went to exactly this club to see the band perform.

"In microcosm there just happened exactly that thing, which is going on at today's big concerts.", he remembers: "Screaming girls in the front row, mashing boys behind." Hoffmann invites them to his studio in Vögelsen in Lower Saxony, in the Lüneburg Heath. The boys get music- and singing lessons. Devilish becomes Tokio Hotel. They signed a contract with Sony BMG, but after half a year the record company got cold feet. The responsible manager dismisses the band. Sony BMG let slip a multi-million dollar business, the manager lost his job. Instead of them, Universal, Sony BMG's strongest competitor, has one hit after another with the band. Three albums have been released so far. A few days ago, a Best-Of-double-album was released. A CD with the songs in German, a CD with the same songs in English. The big mistake that has settled in the heads of clueless adults is, that Tokio Hotel is a casted boygroup. They have never been. Well, Bill and Tom already wanted to become rockstars when they were in second grade. But so the Rolling Stones had wanted, long before they actually became [rockstars]. The today 21-year-old Tokio-Hotel-frontman is more than just the head of an ageing teenager band with some pop ditties, that makes the masses scream. Kaulitz is one of those humans with unique charisma: androgynous, dramatic, glamorous. His band is getting less and less Nena, but more and more Nirvana.

A few weeks ago, arte [German TV channel] helped to make people as from 30, that have no daughter who's into Tokio Hotel, call attention to this young man. The culture channel showed an episode of its series "Durch die Nacht mit…" [Through the night with…]. In this episode Bill Kaulitz met Wolfgang Joop – and not only the fashion designer has been over the moon with Bill since then. But one could have already known this a long time before. But nobody, who's not in love with one of the Kaulitz-twins or Georg or Gustav, comes up with the idea to watch videos on their homepage or to attend a Tokio Hotel concert. Otherwise much more people would have already noticed that the girls, who had thrown "Diddle"-mice or bras on stage in the past, simply recognized who stands in front of them: an extraordinary young man, who has got what it takes to become a world star.

Bild.de - Dirty talk with Tokio Hotel

2010-12-24T16:03:00.002-06:00

Guy: We have never seen Tokio Hotel this way. At their three-day-journey to Tokyo the boys show themselves from a completely different side again. At their arrival still having a surprisingly similar style [to his brother Tom], Bill showed his new look later. With a new hairstyle, close-cropped sides and teased top layer of hair. And not only that, also the tone among the brothers is different. Both swear as much as they can when signing autographs.

Bill: Psh!
Tom: Stop bubbling, or I’ll give you a slug! … Bill, I haven’t signed there anywhere, you’ve changed the cards…
Bill: Tom, you have put them down here for me! Are you daft, or what?
Tom: You’ve got a screw loose, boy…
Bill: You have just put them down here for me!
Tom: I have not, they weren’t for you!
-cut-
Tom: Just look at this!
Bill: Tom, I have not done this! Tell me, am I crazy? You have put them there for me!
Tom: Here, yes, and why haven’t you signed it, when I had put it there for you? You are missing here!
Bill: Oh, me?
Tom: Now…?

Guy: And when they’re just in full flow now, they also reveal some old stories…

Bill & Tom: That was in 2005! Or even 2006…
Georg: Well, definitely 2006…
Tom: And back then, the dear Georg was in love with Kelly Clarkson! … Just admit it! I also admit that I once found Angelina Jolie pretty.
Georg (to Bill): I wonder why you even butt in, boy – you want to f*ck Britney Spears!
Bill: So? Better than Gülcan, Georg!
*Twins laughing*
Tom: Gülcan… Nah, Collien! ….
Tom: Or when peed into Georg’s bottle and he drank out of it afterwards… Oh, he doesn’t even know yet?
Bill: Oops…

Guy: But afterwards the boys can control themselves again. At lunch they make peace.

Bill: Cheers to Tokio Hotel in the Tokyo Hotel.

The Band, Tokio Hotel, were hailed by their Fans at their first Industry Showcase on Wednesday evening (Local Time) in Japan. The Group, led by Bill and Tom Kaulitz, played some of their international Hits during their half an hour long Industry Showcase in Tokyo and announced that they want to return to Japan with a real rock Show.

The Band travelled to Japan for a few days in the framework of a series of events «Deutschland-Japan: 150 Jahre Freundschaft» (engl.: Germany-Japan: 150 years of friendship) and also appeared as Youth Ambassadors between those two countries. At the beginning of the week the musicians were recieved at the German Embassy. The occassion of this series of events is the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Japanese-Prussian Friendship-, Commerce- and Navigation Treaty in 1861.

«We're amazed that we already have so many fans here», said Bill at the concert venue Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo, where he performed in a black leather suit. At the airport, Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav were greeted by their Fans with lovingly hand-made Origami-Christmas Cards.

The proximity of Christmas invited to stop by the record stores in order to gain a piece of jewelry that causes the joy of family and friends. Also to be a personal whim. Among the releases this week, just hoped that 'Michael', an album that will only increase the nostalgia for the 'King of Pop' year and a half after his death.

Compete in stores with a compilation of Tokio Hotel, but any battle with 'Jacko' is lost in advance.

- 'Best of' by Tokio Hotel. Thousands of adolescents copy their aesthetic clutter their concerts and tie up the network to comment on every step. It is therefore not surprising that just passed the barrier of 20 years, the brothers Kaulitz have a 'greatest hits' divided into two CDs -one for the german songs and other for the english ones- plus a DVD full of video clips. 'Monsoon', 'Break Away' or 'Humanoid' are some of the songs on this compilation sound this Christmas in many homes instead of traditional Christmas carols.

Tokio Hotel for the first time in Tokyo

2010-12-17T18:53:00.001-06:00

The young japanese girls yearned for this moment for so long: When the Band, Tokio Hotel, entered the Hall of residence of the German ambassador in Tokyo smiling, a dozen young japanese girls and pupils of the german school in Yokohama started to scream in delight.

Ambassador Volker Stanzel didn't keep them in suspense for long, now they have the chance to ask the band what they've always wanted to ask them: A girl wants to know what impression they had of japanese girls. Actually she wanted to have her question answered by Bill Kaulitz, but he prefers to pass the mic to his twin brother Tom: «There are also some pretty girls here», he says smiling and the girls melt away.

Tokio Hotel in Tokyo for the first time ever. But this visit won't be the last. «We are amazed that we have so many fans here. We didn't expect that.», says Bill. Already at the airport the brothers and their two other band members, Georg Listing (Bass) and Gustav Schäfer (Drums), were welcomed with self-made christmas presents like Origami Christmas Cards.

The reactions of their female fans might be similar to the ones of their female fans in Germany…«But, I have to say that the girls here are a bit reserved, a little shy, which I find totally cute», says Bill, his black rimmed eyes twinkling. With his stylish Outfit – a military jacket, a black shirt underneath and an amunition belt strapped diagonally across his chest – he fits perfectly into Tokyo and the youth scene of the capital, according to his japanese Fans.

And despite having the word "Tokio" in their Band name, they know almost nothing about Japan. They chose "Tokio" because it would have been a target which they would always have dreamed about reaching, but «never could have imagined to visit it as a Band», says Tom. «When we started, I didn't know a thing about Mangas or anything else from Japan», Bill admits. They said that they heard about the japanese Pop-Music, J-Pop, but…«We don't really have a clue». But this will change. For the start, only a few days in Japan – a performance at the german embassy, followed by a little showcase for advertising purposes in front of invited guests – are planned.

But that's not all: In the next few months more visits to Japan are planned. «We are currently retreating into our creative time in the studio», says Tom. «The Japan-Trips are the only thing which we'll be doing besides being in the studio.» A japanese tour will probably take place after the release of a new album. Tokio Hotel just recently released their «Best Of»-Album.

In any case, they already conquered the hearts of their female fans. «Ich liebe Dich», a young japanese girl stutters in german. Another girl, which travelled to Japan from a far away Province in a black Tokio-Hotel-T-Shirt, practices her german before the signing session in the embassy: «Ich möchte Dich heiraten» ["I want to marry you"]. And a married 30-year old japanese women asks a german reporter to teach her a sentence she wants to say to Bill and Tom: «Ich wollte, ich hätte Euch zur Welt gebracht». ["I wish I had given birth to you"].

Amazing Leader's lover recruitment
Bill Kaulitz (singer)

Full Name: Bill Kaulitz Trümper
Birthday: 1st September 1989 Age: 21
Hometown: Leipzig, Germany
Height: 188cm
Weight: 52kg
Color of hair: Black (The color of his real hair is dark brown)
Color of eyes: Brown
Favorite food: Pizza, pasta, in the past I like fast food but now I'm a vegetarian.
Favorite drink: Cola, strawberry milk, peppermint tea.
Family member: Mum - Simone works in a free tailor's shop.
Biological Dad - Jörg Kaulitz is a truck driver.
Stepfather - Gordon Trümper is a musician.
Identical twin brother - Tom Kaulitz.
Favorite bands: Green Day, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Naparte, Aerosmith, Kings Of Leon

After Bill's parents divorced at his age of 7, Bill and Tom were raised by his mother. Gradually influenced by his mother-s new boyfriend who is a guitarist, Bill got interested in music (later on his mother married Gordon). When Bill was 10 years old, he founded a band with the help of his stepfather. He began to play the song that he wrote by himself in a club. During his teenage days, he was considered as a fancy dressing boy among his classmates in his hometown, because he wore the suits and clotheses that he made manually. In addition, he always argued with some one else. Soon after, Gustav and Georg joined in their band and they worked very hard under the name of Devilish. However, there were rarely good performances. Fortunately, Bill participated in a show program called Star Search. In the show, he sung the "It's raining man" of Geri Halliwell, and he lost in the quarter-final, which drew the attention of a famous producer. He grasped the opportunity to be a super star and finally the band signed a contract with Universal Music Company in 2005. Then after they made their debuts, Tokio Hotel created a big sensation not only in Germany but also all over the world. Because of too many trips and shows, Bill had to quit his school at the age of 15 and continued studying through tutors and internet. In 2007 he graduated in Koln (notes: school, between junior high school and senior high school). By the way, Bill's average score in 6 grades was 1.8, which was a very high score (opposite to Japanese score system, 1 is the highest).
Because of Bill's fancy dressing, he was chose as the best dresser in German GQ magazine. Besides this he also established his fashion pioneer place. Tokio Hotel attended the Italian fashion brand "DSQUARED2" FW fashion show, did a photo shoot with Karl Lagerfeld for VOGUE Germany 30th anniversary issue and dubbed an animated film named "Arthur und die Minimoys". Talking about Bill's girlfriend issue that his fans are interested in, now there is no certain answer, which seems like Bill is not that popular among girls. In the past 7 years, Bill didn't have a girlfriend and till now he has been looking for.

Hip Hop culture obsessed popular boy
Tom Kaulitz (guitarist)

Full Name: Tom Kaulitz Trümper
Birthday: 1st September 1989 Age: 21
Hometown: Leipzig, Germany
Height: 188cm
Weight: 52kg
Color of hair: Black (The color of his real hair is dark brown)
Color of eyes: Brown
Favorite food: Pizza, pasta with tomato sauce, in the past I like fast food but now I'm a vegetarian.
Favorite drink: Cola, strawberry milk.
Family member: Identical twin brother - Bill Kaulitz
Other family members are same with Bill's.
Favorite bands: Aerosmith and all the HIP HOP bands like Sammy Deluxe

Tom was born 10 minutes before Bill. They are identical twin brothers. However, they look totally different if we judge from their appearances. Tom always wears a baseball cap, no makeup and wears a Cornrow hairstyle. Now he likes Hip Hop and Cornrow. Tom admitted this point as well that they look totally different on their outside look. But he believes that if they work together, they will become much stronger as one individual. They are like exactly two sides of one coin. About their views of love, they think differently. In Tom's own phrase, he is more popular than Bill among girls. His view of love is quite flexible and he believes that he can have a romantic love even in one night stand. Although they look differently at first glance, they do have something in common which is study. Tom quit his school at age of 15 as Bill did and graduated in Koln (notes: school, between junior high school and senior high school). Coincidently Tom’s score was exactly the same with Bill's, 1.8 in 6 grades.

Healing musical bassist with refreshing smile
Georg Listing (bassist)

Full name: Georg Moritz Hagen Listing
Birthday: 31st March 1987 Age: 23
Hometown: Magdeburg, Germany
Height: 178cm
Weight: 72kg
Color of hair: Brown
Color of eyes: Green
Favorite food: Fotopoulos, Hot Pop
Favorite drink: Red Bull, Cola
Family members: Parents divorced and no brothers or sisters.
Favorite bands: G Green Day, Oasis, Red Hot Chilli Peppers，Die Ärzte

Georg's parents were both doctors, so he grew up in a wealthy family. His parents could not play any instrument, but they all liked rock 'n' roll music, especially his father collected many classic rock 'n' roll music records of Eric Clapton, Beatles, The Rolling Stone and so on. His home was filled with music all the time. In Georg's childhood, he was always brought to a live concert, therefore he fell in love with music naturally. He had ever planned to found a band with his friends in junior high school, but this plan came to naught. Soon after he made acquaintance with Gustav in music school and then they were obsessed with music. Like Bill and Tom, Georg's parents divorced, but his mother had been telling him to follow his heart no matter what he wanted to do. He pursued everything including music freely. The first impression on Georg since his debut was a boy with refreshing straight hair, but he goes to beauty salon to straighten his hair. Actually his real hair is curl hair.

Early bird in the band
Gustav Schäfer (drummer)

Full name: Gustav Klaus Wolfgang Schäfer
Birthday: 8th September 1988 Age: 22
Hometown: Magdeburg, Germany
Height: 173cm
Weight：68kg
Color of hair: Dark Brown
Color of eyes: Brown
Favorite food: Beef ribs boiled with potatoes, rabbits and beans, cheeseburger
Favorite drink: Red Bull, Cola
Family members: Parents, sister
Favorite bands: Metallic, Slipknot, Rod Stewart

Gustav's father and sister played guitar all the time, so he grew up in a family full of music. His father always played some videos for him when he was at home. Gustav knocked at the table as he beat a drum when he watched the video. Gustav's father found that Gustav was interested in drum and he sent Gustav to a music school. So Gustav began to beat drums at age of 5. In elementary school, Gustav became interested in other things, however, his father was pretty strict with him. Then his father and Gustav watched Genesis's video again. Gustav was touched by such a big amount of Genesis's fans and swore to himself that in the future he wants to be a big shot like Genesis. After all this, he kept practicing rain and shine. Father's words were hunting in his mind. Gustav kept practicing as his father taught him, and then he encountered Georg in music school. Soon after, they founded the band with Bill and Tom together under name "Tokio Hotel". However, in 2008, Gustav got into a big traffic accident. On 5th Nov. he was driving his BMW. He crossed over the lane and ran into a tram. Fortunately, he didn't suffer injures in this accident while both his BMW and the tram were damaged seriously. Misfortune continued occurring. In July 2009, Gustav was badly injured by a beer bottle which two unknown men held in their fights in a club in Magdeburg. Because of this, he got 36 stitches from his forehead.

Bill's identical twins brother - Tom Exclusive Interview

We talk about everything together. During one day we discuss a wide range of topics. When we are lying on the bed, we even talk about what to choose between ice coffee and hot coffee.

Before Tokio Hotel comes to Japan, we made a phone call to their studio in Hamburger. They are doing the rehearsal for their South America trip.
Tom picked up the phone and his voice was so fresh and vigorous as he burst out of the phone.
According to their historical popularity in Europe, we thought he would be not as gentle as a gentleman. However, to a big surprise he gave us a pretty good impression.

Based on the information on the internet, you have been looking for some place to move in recently. Is it because of recording? Or is it temporary?
Tom: Yeah, we are going to move to LA. But we have a new house in Hamburg as well.

Why? Have you moved to LA already?
Tom: We have been living in Hamburg before, but we decided to move to LA because we are going to cooperate with the producer who lives in LA. Our decision is based on our work, so we decided to move to LA.

According to the rumors, after you finish recording this new song, four of you want to go back to Germany instead of staying in LA, don't you?
Tom: In fact, Georg and Gustav still live in Magdeburg Germany. Bill and I live in LA. But right now we are in Germany, because we are absorbed in the rehearsal for South America trip.

Is it okay? You guys are separated from each other. What is the collective wisdom for a group?
Tom: Actually, it is just a little bit troublesome. But we have founded this band for almost 10 years, so there will not be some special problems for us. We can meet in the rehearsal room and do everything for the rehearsal. Just like the very beginning, we practiced and wrote songs together in Germany, then Georg and Gustav come over and we do the rehearsal together.

I heard of some news that Bill brought all his 4 dogs to LA. Is it real?
Tom: Yes, all 4 dogs are in LA.

I am a brilliant lovely beautiful guitarist.

How is your life in LA? Do you live with Bill?
Tom: Absolutely, we live together.

Where do you live in LA?
Tom: West Hollywood, it is nice place.

Do you have many friends in LA?
Tom: We don't have many friends in LA, even in Germany we don't have too many friends. (laugh)

Is it because you are super stars?
Tom: Ehm, it is one of the reasons, I think. After all we don't live like normal people. But since we were in high school, we do have two or three close friends. If they come to LA, then it is wonderful. We have friends in LA, but because of the work we always come and go from the studio and out home. Our producer lives in LA, so it is amazing, isn't it?

When you were in Germany, you must have been shadowed by thefts or followers. Maybe your life in LA could be safer and more peaceful.
Tom: Yeah, I hope so. It's a reason that we move to LA.

Your South America trip is the first step entering American market. It is really a good beginning.
Tom: Maybe, I guess out next album will release soon. In 2010, we plan to go to Japan and have some promotional show case. We are looking forward to. We will finish new album after our South America trip, so I think it will take a little bit time. Therefore, it will also take a while to enter American market.

We know everyone has their own hobbies, by the way, who does the housework at home? Bill? Or does someone help you with that?
Tom: There are some people who help us do the housework, coz the house is too big, it’s necessary to hire some to do that. But we sometimes do some housework together as well.

Tokio Hotel is absolutely super star in Europe. Do you want to take the advantages of your star effects to do some charity work? Or some work like charity?
Tom: Of course, we have done many different kinds of charity work. It has been almost 3 years since Bill and I became vegetarian. In this aspect, even though there is not so many this kind of charity work, we will find some work to do as well.

You are a vegetarian, but I am a meat lover. (laugh)
Tom: Oh, you are a vegetarian, so are Georg and Gustav.

I like eating meat. I only ate meat in 7 days when I was in Germany. It seems like that German like eating meat.
Tom: Although I am a vegetarian and I don't eat meat, but I have to eat healthy food otherwise I have no strength at all. In the past, I like eating fast food such as cheeseburgers and hotdogs.

Tom, would you mind telling me your personality?
Tom: It is a tough question. You'd better ask Bill. In my mind, I am a brilliant lovely beautiful guitarist. And I am also very kind. Bill and I are both Virginis, so I am a perfectionist. Sometimes, on this aspect I am like sort of freak, so I may cause troubles.

When Bill and you are together, what do you talk about?
Tom: You mean when we are together? We decide everything together, no matter what. When we are lying on the bed, we still discuss what to choose between ice coffee and hot coffee, or which color is better for the floor of the rehearsal room, or which song do we play or how to play in the show. We share everything with each other.

You have a studio at home in Hamburg, will you have one in LA?
Tom: Because we just moved, some furniture will be delivered in 2 or 3 weeks. The house in Hamburg is empty. Coz the house in LA is so big that I think…

Do you plan to build a studio room in which you can make an album by yourself?
Tom: Yes, I believe we are going to build one though it takes a lot of money.

Then you can make your own music that you like anytime.
Tom: Sure, we have been doing so when we were in Hamburg. We can write songs as we record, and then we can do the recording officially in producer's studio. So we have to make a decision. Shall we spend lots of money to build our own studio in our house or find some other studio to help us with recording?

Is the producer David Jost?
Tom: Daivd Jost and Dave Roth.

Are you going to cooperate with these two people for the next album?
Tom: I think so. Except them, we will invite some other producers and song-writers to join us. Coz we want to do something special and fresh, but I don't know too much about the next album. We don't make plans. As long as we haven’t started writing, we don’t know what is going to happen next.

Did you sing a song in Japanese 3 or 4 years ago, right?
Tom: Yeah, it's "Durch den Monsun".

Will you sing in Japanese again?
Tom: I don't know yet. Bill is responsible for this. But as for Bill, it's really difficult for him to sing in Japanese. And except English and German, we are too lazy to learn other foreign languages. So we need help when we do the recording. Although we had a good time when we recorded the "Durch den Monsun" Japanese version, it is really hard. Oh, you heard that one, didn't you? Can you understand what we sung?

In fact, I just read some relating information, I haven't listened. But I promise you if you sing in Japanese when you come to Japan this time, I will tell you how well you sing.
Tom: Ok, then.

Next question is a basic one. Why do you name your band "Tokio Hotel"?
Tom: The original name is "Devilish".

Yeah, I know that, it's a cool name.
Tom: Sure, it is a pretty cool name. we want a cooler one. So we decided to be under name "Tokio" after discussion. Tokyo sounds more beautiful than Berlin. However we have never been there before. To some extent, the name of our band symbolizes the final goal for us. And our next destination is Tokyo. We are going to play live.

What do you know about Tokyo or Japan?
Tom: I have no idea. Some people told me that Japan is a colorful world, so we really want to experience by ourselves. Actually there is no specific image of Tokyo in my mind. I think it will be a big surprise.

Tom, do you have something that you want to do in Japan? Do you have something to say to your fans?
Tom: Sure. I really appreciate that you are so surportive all the time. We are looking forward to going to Japan and meet all you guys on the live concert and show case. This is our first time to go to Japan, so we are so excited. We are longing for seeing the streets, tasting Japanese food and so on. We can not wait any more.

Tokio Hotel piden revancha

2010-12-04T13:44:00.001-06:00

A pesar del gran fiasco comercial que supuso ‘Humanoid’, Tokio Hotel no arrojan la toalla y anuncian para el próximo 14 de diciembre la publicación de ‘The Best Of’. Además de reunir las mejores canciones de la formación alemana, el recopilatorio incluirá una nueva canción: ‘Hurricanes And Suns’.

‘Humanoid’, tercer álbum en estudio de nuestros queridos post-emos no cuajó ni a nivel comercial ni en el seno de la crítica internacional. ¿Es ese fracaso un motivo suficiente para empezar a pensar en el declive definitivo de Tokio Hotel, una formación a la que, desde sus fulgurosos inicios, no se le aventuró un gran devenir? Demasiado expeditivo, demasiado artificial, ese triunfo inmediato olía extraño y emanaba un cierto olor a artificialidad.

Podría ser el principio del fin o un mero resbalón en una carrera de ya cinco años y durante la que Tokio Hotel han vendido más de un millón y medio de álbumes. Para resumir esta trayectoria, para recordar los grandes momentos cuando todo era optimismo, el cuarteto está a punto de sacar al mercado ‘The Best Of’ que no sólo encierra algunos de los mayores éxitos del proyecto liderado por Bill Kaulitz si no que también trae una canción exclusiva que responde al nombre de ‘Hurricanes And Suns’.

Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz Channels Miley Cyrus On Stage

2010-12-04T13:23:00.000-06:00

Here we have Tokio Hotel frontman Bill Kaulitz, photographed on stage, live in Mexico yesterday. The band brought their typical rock mayhem to the Palacio de los Deportes, which sounds like as good a place as any to bring said mayhem.

Such are the fine lines in pop culture and fashion these days that when first glancing at this picture, I actually thought that Bill Kaulitz's outfit, what with its winged element, was a tribute to Miley Cyrus' "bird girl" character from her "Can't Be Tamed" video.

But in actuality, this is just how Bill Kaulitz gets down: all glam goth everything, all the time. The band head to Tokyo and the rest of Asia after they complete the Latin American leg of their current world tour as they prepare to release their best of album.

The band just released their new song, "Hurricanes and Suns," and hopefully we can look forward to some new Tokio Hotel material sometime next year. For now enjoy bird man Bill Kaulitz, above.

Tokio Hotel hide their private life

2010-12-04T13:22:00.000-06:00

The young pop-rock stars anticipated that next Tuesday 14th December will be released his "Best Of" compilation album.

During the last three years, Tokio Hotel members secured that, they have been forced to become experts in the game of "boo" because they hate the paparazzis, who try to get into their private lives and whom presecute them day and night wherever they go. The brothers, Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing and Gustav Schäfer said, exclusively, that the price of fame they achieved in the last five years has been paid to the constant harassment of the media.

"Not that Tom and me live in Los Angeled we have realized of the nightmare that are the paparazzis. There are paparazzi everywhere, and we do not like them and prefer hide from them. I hate the paparazzi, we hate them, I think this photographers are the worst people in the world and must be bad people"
"They make money from the lives of the others without any effort, destroy lives, ruin careers, invade the privacy of a human being. I hate them, "Bill said in the talk that took place yesterday at a downtown hotel in the city.
The German quartet, which formed a decade ago and is popular for hits like "Automatisch", "Final Day" and "Phantomrider" said that on Wednesday, when they arrived to Mexico City, slipped to its staff to tourists taste.
"We had fun in the evening, we ate very rich and drank all the tequila we could. We tried pulque, much as I did not like tequila. We are not caused or raw, are good drinkers, was a delight. Mexico means a lot of excitement for us, too hot, the sun, this weather is so rich, "said Bill's twin brother, Tom.
In the meeting with the group before their performance last night at the Palacio de los Deportes, they were shocked to learn that Mexican fans competed with the Spanish to break the record of who hoped for more time outside the building where they would play, a record that fans of the country and imposed ... Three weeks!
The stars of pop-rock youth anticipated that on 14th Tuesday will be released their Best Of compilation album, which included English and German compositions that have become famous throughout the world, like "Monsoon," "Scream" and "Humanoid."

Interrupción en el concierto de Mexico

Sure you all know that the concert the band gave in Mexico on December 2 was interrupted for about 20 minutes. During the song "World behind my wall" Bill, the lead singer of the band, stopped singing and left the stage, followed by the other members, seeing that many fans were fainting in front of their eyes. Also, those who were in the front row were trying to get on stage, such was the violence that the security barrier was about to break. When all was calm Tokio Hotel keep and finished their first concert in Mexico and the last one of their South American tour. Video 1 / 2 / 3

Tokio Hotel: First visit to Tokio

2010-12-02T13:01:00.001-06:00

Since six years Tokio Hotel are known under this name in the music industry, but Bill Kaulitz & Co. have never been to Tokio.

Now the four boys from Madgeburg want to eliminate this tiny flaw in their Band-History. On December 15th they'll visit Japans capital and play a gig in front of the most important japanese journalists.

Germanys internationally most successful Rockband already had several #1 Hits in a lot of South-East-Asian countries, now they want to conquer Japan too. The japanese music Magazines are already full of reports about Tokio Hotel – and this, without the band ever having been there.

Bill and Tom will fly to Tokio directly from their new adoptive home, Los Angeles, where they’re currently working on new songs with their producer David Jost. Georg and Gustav will travel to Japan from Germany.

Monsunity: We are on the top 135 on iTunes!

2010-11-30T12:00:00.001-06:00

24 hours after starting the project 99 cents, the song "Jung Und Nicht Mehr Jugendfrei" entered directly to the TOP 176 of iTunes on Monday night.

Today on Tuesday, the song is in the TOP 135!

Do not forget that iTunes has million songs to the sale and "our one", which was opening the concerts of the Tour "Schrei" with Tom's guitar causing the general hysteria in seconds, "Jung Und Nicht Mehr Jugendfrei"… is in the TOP 135…

5 years after his publication. Without support of radios. Without support of anybody. Only yours. The support of the fans.

If before this I knew that you were great, now I have to kneel and kiss the ground you step
Now it's when we have work to the maximum. We have managed to enter to the TOP in 24 hours. Now we have to continue rising. We have to continue expanding the message…

If this continues this way, the band is going to hear from us…

Let's go!

There can't be a friend, neighbor or relative who doesn't know about the iTunes song!

You are the greatest thing ever!

C'moooooooooooon!!

Monsunity fan action

2010-11-29T19:58:00.002-06:00

The 2010 is about to finish, we plan to do an action without precedent in the history of Monsunity. The Humanoid City Tour left with too many empty seats on its way through Europe and the sales did not respond all that was expected. From this Social Network for Fans, we want to launch a project which you are the key players and it may will have important consequences.

Of what does it consist?

We have proposed to do a gift to Tokio Hotel and it is not different that to put to the band in the iTunes TOP with the song “Jung Und Nicht Mehr Jugendfrei” of his first album “Schrei“.

How can I collaborate?

Of many ways.
The first one is buying the song on iTunes. You will have to bring in on the page of iTunes (writing “apple itunes” on Google), download the program and register. When you are inside write in the searcher “Tokio Hotel Jung” and will appear the song “Jung Und Nicht Mehr Jugendfrei”. The price is 99 cents.

The previous point is the basic collaboration, butis not enough. Whether you buy the song or not, you have to help spreading this message. We will try to expand this idea as quickly as possible. Publish it on your Facebook, Twitter, blog, web forum of which you are diligent or pass the message via SMS to your closests friends.

Monsunity has members from many countries, not only in Spain, and the idea is that try to spread this message, either in Italy, Portugal, France, Poland, Austria, Germany, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia ... etc, Not matter the country you are from.

Why "Jung Und Nicht Mehr Jugendfrei" and not another?

At first we think of "Durch Den Monsun" but the price is 1.29 €, so we decided to take "Jung Und Nicht Mehr Jugendfrei" we thing that it has much meaning and was the song used in the first tour group as the opening song.

On the other hand, choosing a theme from the first album that is not included in the "Best Of" is a way of keeping alive the essence of the group and show that we remain faithful to the roots aside now or fashion.

Besides, no one expect that a song that was published five years ago could enter the TOP of iTunes so if we finally get it, the group will be totally surprised!

Have you gone mad?

Absolutely not. Two years ago, when we began to spin to the creation of a social network exclusively for fans of Tokio Hotel, a lot of people branded us as crazy on many occasions. Also same thing happened when we decided to launch MonsunityShop. What once seemed crazy, today is a reality.

Fans of Tokio Hotel are made of a special wood and if we have let them win all the awards that they have been nominated on the internet, why do not we do something similar on our own initiative? Can you think for a moment of the faces that Gustav, Georg, Tom & Bill will get if it reaches to they ears that they have entered the TOP of iTunes with the theme "Jung Und Nicht Mehr Jugendfrei?

Let's dream together and let's let the skin get this madness. How much are those 99 cents?

Come on!

Now, we are going to Bill and Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel. Both of them came out huge on a different terrain.Exactly...magazines and newspapers they know, that's what they have done already here in Germany. But now they are on the cover of THE men-fashion-magazine ever...namely the L'Uomo Vogue..the men-vogue from Italy. And this is THE magazine, if it comes to fashion and style...it's ne plus ultra. Here we see the making-off...animated pictures. There they shooted the photos and they are super.

Ja, in the back we see the pictures, how they made the photos.You really start to ask yourself, whether this is some kind of "knightly accolade" to be allowed to appear in such a magazine. How did the italian hit on the idea of Tokio Hotel?

Well, the boys are known worldwide, they fill worldwide stadion and venues and for the italian people they are fashion-icons, even if we can't imagine it about the one with the baggy-pants. But luckily they dressed them well, some make-up and they made fantastic pictures.

Wow, how fashionable they are. Custom-tailored outfits and a tube gel in the hair. What kind of date will they have? No, they are already right in the middle of it, namely the cover-shooting for the italian vogue. Being so peaceful together, if it comes to fashion, is not usualy the case. Tom: "He had his biggest critic a lifetime by his side."Bill: "If we have to go somewhere, to any event, all of them stand in front of me and say...please, please, don't go like this to the red carpet."But looking like this, Bill could really show his face everywhere.

Fans place Tokio Hotel’s star on “Walk Of Fame”

2010-09-30T15:21:00.000-06:00

In February Tokio Hotel received a star on the Walk of Fame from the Oberhausener König-Pilsener Arena. Now, fans were allowed to place the award of honor in front of the venue: Tatiana, Darleen, Hanna and Iszy are the four lucky ones, chosen from hundreds of supporters.

Tatiana from Recklinghausen had camped before the concert in February a few nights with her friends Iszy and Hanna in a tent, to expierence Tokio Hotel from the front row. The 16-year-old was pleased with the action: “We had never expected, that we would be able to hold the “Walk Of Fame” from our favourite band in our hands. So the shivering in Feburary paid off twice. We hope to see Gustav, Bill, Tom and Georg live in Oberhausen soon.”

With the “Walk of Fame”, which runs from the box offices of the Arena Plaza to the main entrance of the hall, the König-Pilsener-Arena honors artists, who celebrated “outstanding achievements” in the venue. So far immortalized on the Walk of Fame are Paul McCartney, David Copperfield, Santana, Kylie Minogue, Joe Cocker and Pink.
